Hello all,

In Info-Atari16 Digest #258, per2!dag@speedy.wisc.edu (Daniel A. Glasser) says:

[ Stuff deleted a

Has Daniel posted this thing by now?  Is it available on SSYX (the only source
of ST binaries for BITNET users since NETLIB@LAKESYS.UUCP died) ??

Alternatively, would a kind soul be willing to send me source and binary for
this program (whatever Daniel called it)?  Please send word beforehand. Thanks.

Note that I have TOS 1.4, and am willing to test the thing under 1.4.

[Sorry to bother the net, but mail to Daniel came back (maybe the mailer
 didn't like the '!' in 'per2!dag'... a
