!README!.DOC - HORN6 disk of HP 48 software - January 11, 1992
               Collected & annotated by Joseph K. Horn, aka [-jkh-].

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ DEDICATED WITH GRATITUDE TO CHRIS SPELL, MODERATOR OF COMP.SOURCES.HP48, │
│WITHOUT WHOSE VOLUNTEER WORK THIS COLLECTION WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.│
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

This is Joe Horn's personal collection of favorite HP 48 goodies, disk #6.  It
contains many excellent programs by many excellent programmers.  Most of these
files were downloaded from HP's Corvallis bulletin board system.  

The files are contained in subject-oriented subdirectories.  List FILEINFO.SRC
for a complete listing of all the files and a brief description of each.  The
Norton FI utility was used to "attach" these descriptions onto every file and
subdirectory on the disk; if you own FI, you will enjoy using it with the
Goodies Disks.  Use the /L switch to show the author's name.  If you are a
4DOS user, you can also use its automatic file description output, but the
authors' names will not be displayed.

** ASCI-> is in the HACKIT library, found on Goodies Disks #3 & #5, and
   ASC-> is in the ASC file, found on Goodies Disk #1.

Notes: Files with the same name before the extension are all related.  For
example, FRED would be a downloadable binary; FRED.SRC would be its source code
(possibly commented); FRED.DOC would be its documentation; etc.  

Do not include any comments in GROBs' SRC files; they make GROB2TIF fail.

All other listable files have their authors' names somewhere in the first few
lines.  If I couldn't figure out who wrote it, it'll say "By ?".  

I have tried to provide documentation of some sort for every file on this disk.
Any help would be appreciated in writing docs for those files missing them; for
example, if you know who wrote a file "by ?", please let me know so that proper
credit may be given on the next Goodies Disk.

Apologies to those whose files I accidentally mangled or miscredited.
Warm thanks to all authors whose works lurk herein.  Good job!

These files are not guaranteed in any way; use at your own risk.
