I have uploaded my most recent version to cica (ftp.cica.indiana.edu)
in /pub/pc/win3/uploads. This was my first access to this site, so hope
thats OK. vxBase is updated quite regularly. I think the author will send
an evaluation copy for a small fee. I can post Phone & Fax numbers &
address if anyone wants, but the Compuserve address is 70524, 3723.
