Thanks! How can I contact them? (snail or otherwise...) What does
that `3' stand for, anyway?
}It's, uhh, an Amiga format disk. Ha ha.
Actually, no problem. An amiga is what I run when I'm slumming at
home. (We pop up in the strangest places, we amigoids... ;-) )

}``O'' doesnt close. SO you goto 24 and now the ``B'' doesnt close.
}I've looked at the code and it looks ok, but ????????????
Anyone else have experience with this? Better yet---has anyone been
