That sounds fine Aries . I must apologize for taking so long getting around to this. I have been taking advantage of my extra free time to do something I have been putting off for a dozen years - porting and archiving all my code from other platforms. I thought it would only take me a week - unfortunately, I keep running into stumbling blocks and waiting for ancient hardware replacements in the mail. All of my old machines refuse to work, so I have to fix them first so I can port stuff.

It is so sad that obsolete software and obsolete machines are so avidly protected by copyrights and whatnot. All that does is bury a wonderful and colorful history that our children could cherish along with us. I have had to workaround this by trying to remember how to write in "ancient" assembly languages, zero page allotments, etc, etc. I gotta laugh - I had to write a nullmodem xfer program to run in --- are your ready for this? -- 4k!!!

Ah, the good old days...
