    I have received a lot of mail regarding System 5.0.3.  I know it is
available on GEnie (where Apple released its system software), but apparently
it has not made it to America On-line yet.  No, I will NOT shrink and binscii
the two disks!!!  How would you like to send two 500K+ text files at 2400-bps
to a remote ProLine site?  Can you say "probable line noise"?  Be patient, and
it will certainly come to you.  I imagine it will be a couple of weeks before
the dealers get copies of 5.0.3, so check in with them from time to time.  It
has many improvements and bug fixes over System 5.0.2, including the annoying
StandardFile glitch which caused the system to hang if the current prefix
could not be found on any drive.  It also auto-highlights the file name when
you select "Save As..." now, so you can type in the name right away, instead
of hitting Clear first.

    There is also interest in the sound sample to ASIF converter, so I'll post
that on comp.binaries as soon as possible.  If anyone doesn't have access to
comp.bin, I'll e-mail you a copy.
