After reading this, I pulled out disk #80 and played with the stuff in question. Not bad. The memory disassembler is very nice, as is the memory editor. Are these the only tools made by Inovatronics (apart from Power Windows)? I'm inclined to grab this disk if there are other tools on it. >I am in the process of attempting to identify the original source >of this modified version, [ ... ] If you locate this individual, please feel free to stamp on his toes, feed Alka Seltzer to his pet goldfish, and wave a magnet over his disks. >[LATE NEWS FLASH --- When it rains it pours, as they say....] >disk number 88).

I checked this one out, too. The README file says that it's freely redistributable. Did the contractor change his mind? Or is it just a mistrake? Don't know what the fuss is about this one; looks relatively trivial. But I'll delete the directory, anyway. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.
