Awesome. This is the first indication I've had that my program went
anywhere but into the bit bucket when I posted it 3 years ago.
It was written using Turbo C 1.0. The only thing I've done to it
since then, were some slight modifications to make it work with
Turbo C 2.0. Works like a champ, except, as is documented, it gets
confused when you start banging on the ^C key while running it.
If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I'll mail it to you.
Or repost if there is enough interest.

I had choice.
I could have
reformatted
my paragraph
with shorter
lines, or I
could have
added junk
at the end
of the article
to satisfy
inews. Guess
which one I
picked.
