Not so. I wrote the first ProDOS system application that packed a file in hexadecimal format (for EXEC'ing into BASIC), and it is called "The Executive". A few months later, Glen Bredon one-upped me by writing "The Executioner" which does a similar function, except it makes use of some additional compression techniques to keep the file size down. Just setting the record straight. --Morgan Davis UUCP: crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mdavis ARPA: crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mdavis@nosc.mil INET: mdavis@pro-sol.cts.com
