  The posting requires that the moderator write a support program in his
spare time. Andy sent me the demo disk as a 360k file, I have to write a
program to read the file and write it to a disk in raw format (ie. it's
not a DOS disk).

  Since I've been spending my time on other problems it hasn't gotten done.
