*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
why not indeed ? i am in the process of implementing the recently
posted automatic retrival program for mod.sources and i am
considering included as much of the atari16 sources as i can get my

exchange of ideas and information ? i certainly believe that
software falls into that catagory.
