My first job was to work in the systems department at Muliple Access
in Don Mills.  We maintained Dan's TXED on our systems up to NOS 2.3.
Dan left MA about a year before I was hired, but came in around '84
for a few days to help us upgrade it to 2.4.1.  Dan has the copyright
on the source and I think Ian keeps in touch with him.  We thought
about porting it to NOS/VE while in CDC Canada, but never got around to
it.
