Funny you should ask. I just threw out a Princeton Alumni newsrag that had an article about someone who, as a high school student, wrote a package like that for his father. He got a lot of practice sounding sophisticated when he was talking to the computer experts. I do remember that the package was written in assembly language, so it should be small and fast, though not necessarily user-friendly in the way that is used these days. Any Princeton Alumus out there who hasn't thrown out the paper yet might provide more details -- especially a way to get in touch with the author of the package. -- --R. T.
