Sorry, MDM712 doesn't support the MM100.  Don't spend any time trying
to change it since Irv Hoff removed nearly all the comments from the
source code, thus making it impossible for anyone other than him to
update the program.  He has done this to several other public-domain
programs (such as NCAT) and the RCPM Sysops are starting to talk about
not supporting any of the programs he has done this to.  We've had
numerous complaints about the stripping of comments and updates for
cosmetic reasons or the removal of features he "doesn't like".  Irv
has become very popular with end-users who don't have any interest in
modifying or improving programs, but he is incurring the wrath of
public-domain programmers and RCPM Sysops.  There is a serious
confrontation brewing over this.
