I've had 3 or 4 letters from people since I posted this.  They pointed
out--quite cordially to my surprise--that this software is not only
been available for the Amiga but has been for some time.  Well, I

See now?  It really pays to read unfamiliar newsgroups--you learn
a lot!  Thanks to all those who responded....
