I no longer have that program and find myself in need of such a beast. I've grep the c.s.u and c.s.m archive inidexes for things like "*mach*" and "*arch*", but to no avail. If anyone has a pointer to such a program, I'd appreciate an email note. I will summarize if there is enough interest. Thanks, -- Skip (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
