Despite the similarity of names, and the fact that I posted the code here,
I am not the author ... but have been in touch with Ms. Schulter from
time to time. Unfortunately Margo does not have (to my knowledge) netmail
capability. She participates in the DTP echo conference on the Fidonet
BBS network, and logs on from a BBS in Sacramento. I've tried sending
here =FIDO= net mail and she hasn't received it, so a Usenet-to-Fido
link from her BBS would seem hopeless.

Knowing this, I got the original on diskette from her and asked if she had
any problems with redistribution. She indicated that there are =no=
intended limitations, and that I could post the code wherever I wanted to.
So up it went here, and in the PostScript conference on GEnie.

In short: I'll relay your kind words back to her, but for anything more, please
contact the author directly. I'm sure she'll be delighted to hear from you all.


PS: Apologies for the choice of ZOO and for the ^M's in the uuencode. My fault.
    Since Portal does not allow shell access, I did all of this at home on my
    MSDOS system, and accidentally invoked the "MS-DOS compatible" switch on
    UUENCODE.
