Why should Abacus put further money in a product that is limited in sales. If you are that great programmer and critic that you think you are, make the changes to the program yourself. Why is it worthless? Don't you know how to run programs that you compiled in the shell? Or is it that you don't like having to load the shell to run a program. Abacus will let you copy the shell to other disk's. All you have to do is set the autoexec file to load and run the program and anyone can run the program. You have not proved your claim that Abucus Software is not worth its money. Bob Piskac piskacrj@mentor.cc.purdue.edu My mom won't let me have a .sig.
