  However, most of the porting of Phil's code to the ST has been done by
amateurs in Europe, DG2KK and recently PE1CHL. Distribution of current
ST code in the US has been a problem, I've mailed out more diskettes than
I would have preferred because of this.

  Not only could you have gone to the library, but in northern California
anyway you could have used tcp/ip to finger the amateur radio database
which n6oyu runs and gotten the information via radio. Of course
if you only have an Atari that might require the very code you were trying
to get it ....
