     The calculators ran okay for me, maybe it was just your copy.  (I have
only a meager 128K mac, maybe you have a 512K, and the DA isn't 512K
compatible.)  (Gosh, wouldn't that be a switch.)

     Anyway.  I think the calculators come from a disk sold under the name
"MacOffice".  I'm not sure they are public domain.  I don't have MacOffice, so
I don't know if they allow free distribution of these DA's.  (Somebody with
the program might check that out.)
     I'd hate for this to turn into another SmoothTalker/VersaTerm scandal.
PLEASE, people, try to find out where the programs you post come from and try
to make sure that you aren't posting a commercial program.
