I've been trying to get the Pascal version posted since November!!!
Apparently the path between my node and the moderators is non-existant.
I even enlisted the aid of Paul DuBois, the original author of the C
version, to act as a relay station between the moderator and myself, but
nothing has come of it.  

This is kind of a guest account, so sending out many individual mailings
is not in the cards, and, besides, it defeats the purpose of the net.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
