This sounds much more robust that the version that I have written.  (I
assume that it isn't the fake TOPS-20 library that's bundled with C
Kermit.)  I would suggest that anyone who has asked me for my library
also inquire about this one.  (This doesn't mean that I'm ignoring the
requests :-) ).

Like CCMD, my library is also out of date.  Another version has been
in the works for a while.  It will handle various parsing models
(TOPS-20, GEM menus, curses menus, etc.) and other plug-in parts.

But by all means, contact Columbia.  I intend to..
