That's because I don't have one. :-)

I don't subscribe to other net services.  Perhaps you could be more specific
for the benefit of those who like to pay $6.00/hour or more to download files?
The availability of it is one of the reasons I'm taking an interest poll
*before* I use net resources to distribute it.  I *do* plan to send it to
the archive person (got your letter today...)

I don't have a hard drive, so compiling it is out of the question.  However,
anybody with a ProDOS 16 shell (ECP, APW, ORCA, etc.) can use the object
code to edit files (it's not just another program editor).

My sizes were a bit conservative... 125K packed for the program + basic docs,
80K more for full documentation (complete with appendices).  This suggests
seven to eight different executionered files (4 or 5 + 3).  Btw, the unpacked
file is 275 prodos blocks (this is a fancy program).
