Bill,  first of all: I'm certainly not insulted, just a bit frustrated.
Second of all, what's an Mshrink?  I looked in the osbind.h file on my  m
Lattice C disk and found it.  Aparently, it's a gemdos call.  Well      m?
that's fine and dandy, but I don't have any documentation about it.
What book has this documentation?  An Abacus book perhaps?              ow.
     Third of all, thanx for the help.
