Abacus Research and Development, Albuquerque NM, the same folks who brought
the ROMLIB stir to the net, are working on just such a product. They have it
up on SUNS, and the chief executive hacker tells me it should be a quick

	Of course all Appkit Junkies will tell you this is the "wrong way"
to go, but for the meantime, it will be the definitive stop gap measure, and
perhaps quiet the "no-app-sayers".
