Being lazy just now (getting ready for a vacation next week,) is the
source on those DSK files?  If not, is anyone still able to email the FH
in FHL and see if he will release them?  Or am I possibly (considering
the prices that Gene mentioned) going to be coming up against a
licensing issue?

Come to think of it, while it's a great gift to the CoCo community, I
bet he wrote that in a low level language.  I'll have to learn assembler
one of these days, but now ain't the time.  I'm working through some
CCNA books for work; hoping to be "movin' on up" soon.

Thanks.
