[Coco] MAKE_TK.lzh has a bad case of Y2K.

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Gene, there are two copies of Sled on RTSI!

They both started from the same user group disk source.

I spent my time insuring that the file being edited would not be lost, it 
took a long time to find the final bug in the original source.

The other author added help files, pop up windows and other stuff.

The last time I tried the other sled it took me one minute to prove that 
several bugs were never addressed! Mainly crashes.

Mine is called "ColorfulSLED ED6" and is here on RTSI"

ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/APPS/Colorful_Sled_6ed.LZH

The commands for the two Sleds are quite different and I stayed away from 
the other so that I would not learn it's commands.

I needed to find the SLED card doc page to find out how to exit SLED after 
twenty years.

Next post will say that the LII.Dev.Pak "Make" STILL WORKS just fine.

SHF
