Hello all,

  I'm sorry to report that I've made a mistake while compiling the BSS-BIT
utility I posted about two hours ago.  The program works on Megas, but *not*
on 1 MB machines.  Please don't waste time downloading it.  There will be a
new version (0.2) ASAP.

   For the curious:  I wrote the program in CCD/ICD Pascal/ST+, V2.07.  While
all good compilers for the ST supply a linker option to set the amount of run-
time memory for stack/heap/etc, that $#!++& Pascal uses a Compiler option for
the same purpose.  Well, I forgot to set it, and the default is "grab all you
can".  I never noticed, because I have 4 MB to play around with, but on 1 MB
machines the new 1.4 file selector can't malloc enough memory to function.
At least, this is an opportunity to see one of the less-than-common TOS error
alerts (the German one even has a spelling error :-).

   Meanwhile, translators for the program messages are solicited.

   Again, sorry for the trouble, it's all my fault.  Blame me.
