Jeff, this is exactly the kind of good news I've kept an eye out for for a 
couple of years already. I, too, have the 1 meg hack, and have been dying to 
get the Lucas/FRANCES, etc. running on my machine. But extreme penury is not 
the only thing that has held me back -- I've been wanting to learn of some 
intrepid pioneer who proved it has been done successfully at least once. 
Sadly, the FIDO echos just didn't locate the person of your caliber :-) and 
I feel so glad to finally get access to usenet! Hey, if you ever want to 
sell drop me a line. I can't guarantee anything but I may be interested in 
bidding.  -- Travis Bissett --
