	Thanks!  How can I contact them? (snail or otherwise...)  What does
that `3' stand for, anyway?

}It's, uhh, an Amiga format disk. Ha ha.

	Actually, no problem.  An amiga is what I run when I'm slumming at
home.  (We pop up in the strangest places, we amigoids... ;-) )

}``O'' doesnt close. SO you goto 24 and now the ``B'' doesnt close.
}I've looked at the code and it looks ok, but ????????????

	Anyone else have experience with this?  Better yet---has anyone been
able to _fix_ this?
