Box 678 >>Natick, MA 01760 Sorry, Custom Software Systems was sued by AT&T for copyright infringment and is no longer in business. Rather a shame as they did have a pretty good vi for MS-DOS. I do not know the deatails but I do know that they no longer have a phone and my USmail goes unanswered. The best one I know of is from Mortice Kern Systems -including their MKS toolkit. Talk with Gerry Wheeler for ordering particulars. - Out of Canada. ... uunet.UU.NET!watmath!mks!wheels MKS has support people online to the net !!!! Price is around $120 bucks. Could also check in with comp.ibm.pc for freebees -- ----------------------------- sun!arete!bud!richard ||"No, I said the BITS .. massage the BITS" " ! " ! " !kass!richard || Richard Karasik " !
