Yes, get a copy of pscapt.prg, which works exclusively for this problem, or
get a copy of Moshe Branner's barrel.prg which is more versatile.  If
barrel isn't on the atari.archive or at panarthea, I could upload my copy
to one or both (a good exercise for me, I haven't done it yet for
either 8-).  If I get no response, I won't do either, I'll just send
it to Martin if he asks.  BTW, if someone could post, or tell us where to
get a copy of pscapt, I'd be grateful, my copy was corrupted.
