Just because Bammi and friends were kind enough to send me the source (I forget now exactly how I came to have it) doesn't mean I can distribute hacked versions. Sorry. Ask them for an update, and hope it's a major one - there are some SERIOUS and fundamental flaws in places like directory handling (ever say "ls -lt" on a directory with 100 entries?) and memory management (leave the editor, get bombs, see Desktop). ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
