This suggestion helped me out alot but I ran across one small problem.	While
trying to recompile the code after making the changes you suggested I
ran into a problem of not having a file called UUCP.LIB.  If you know
where I can get this file please let me know.  I don't have FTP access so
that is out.  If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks in advance!
