Cat-Fur was a good programming effort by Keary but as most of the people
who used it often found out was that it had some errors once in a while.
I can't recall (sounding like an ex-Prez) if Keary fixed the problem.

Keary went on to the Amiga (which he fell in love with when it came out, as
I recall.) and programmed DIGA, the first telecom program for the Amiga.

Keary goes to college and I have his home number some place I can try to
reach him if somebody desparately wants the code. I have not talked to him
for 3-4 years. I have tried to contact him in the past and got his mother.
