No, the exclamation point, '!', in front of the filename is nothing worth getting overly excited about. It just allows sorters to do their thing and list it first, usually... I'll keep this short, so there's no excuse not to read this: -- I'm officially retired from freeware programming. There, I've finally said it. No more maybe's, if's, etc. Expect no future updates, and expect no new freeware offerings, at least not from me. Expect no support, or handholding. A final "thank-you" note, though, would be appreciated. You never sent one when you began using the program, remember? Nothing marked "postage-due" though. I expect this retirement to dry up my last remaining funds. No, I'm not going shareware or commercial, I'm just getting on in years, and programming is just not fun anymore. At least not for me, for a young one, it might appear different. -- I'll keep the source code around for 31 days after this is released, same as the date below. If anyone seriously wants it, make a serious offer. But there's no hurry. Most of my source is in Modula-2, no assembly required (tho' some may be mixed in, I forget, remember my age?). What pun? What you get is the source for all freeware offerings in the IBMSYS Forum of CompuServe. Search all libraries there for the keyword "RTK". It's a package deal, not to make it attractive, but because it would take too much additional effort on my part to try and separate things out. Many routines are shared across several programs. Even if I do receive a few or several offers, I still make no promises. The sources may still disappear after 31 days, beyond even my own reach... I don't promise you'll understand the source. I don't much anymore. Then again, I'm not a financial wizard (remember, "freeware"?), so I may jump at the first offer I see. I keep deleting files at my new part-time job without knowing why. Well, I'm still trying to get the hang of this new-fangled Windows program at work. I guess I take a copy home with me and practice here... Oh, this tiny document, supersedes anything else written anywhere else included in this archive. An almost unchanged "manual" is included for completeness. As usual, I haven't run this document throught any grammar, spelling, or style checkers, so this much hasn't changed. Did I forget to anywhere? My new passions? Cable TV, and , girls... Cable TV can sure get expensive! Bye, Raymond 27-Jan-95 P.S. Just when you think you're done, things change on you again. I logged on to upload the new "release" and find the "IBMSYS" forum has just changed its name to "PCUTIL". But "GO IBMSYS" still works for now.
