Keith Peterson, mail bounces: I've uploaded SNAP, please post instructions
for those who want it how to get it. If you need a dbase program anything,
get this program. It does lots of things, formatting code given one root
program name, drawing program and database trees and structures. It has
other options too; have fun.

Bill davidsen (his spelling(!)) wrote a lousy message to this group
not contributing much except a flame for ibm computers and unewsgroup
members. Maybe he'll go away. Fragments (less is better here) are below.

You'll see what it's like to be shunned here I'm sure.

Hmmmm, they make a group comp.binaries.ibm.pc, and they would rather
we not post binaries to it. Looks like you're the fish in a barrel
easy to shoot.

If you don't like it here so much, why are you here? get the heck out.
You won't be missed by many I'm sure.

I have a feeling that you make any computer into a toy.
If I gave you a cray, you'd probably only be able to play with it too.

Oh, get a mirror and you'll do fine. I don't see any dead fish here.

He had no signature. Surprise he's ashamed.
