Thanks much Carl. I'll give this a spin and report back. Glad to hear
you found the idea to have merit. The jumbo .U2 is essentially the
descendant of Robert's XYWPMKIT (going back to the XY-3 days), OOdles,
and your SMART program collection, incorporating years of refinement to
a lot of those venerable routines. I imagine that a lot of these
programs came to be for no other reason then that the authors got tired
of having to deal with the same problem or issue over and over again,
and cooked up something to handle it quicky and efficiently. And we are
all the grateful beneficiaries of that effort.
