   The version that was sent to us didn't have any information on the
Library itself.  Does anyone have this that they can send to us?  I
would like to know what is in there and how to use it.  I might even

  For those of you who have not checked comp.binaries.amiga, there is also
a copy there -- or there should be any day now (I posted it a while ago).
