And some have complained loud and long about Howard not having the most
current version, without letting him know, or sending him the most
current version so he could post it. He always puts up the most recent
version he has, what more can be asked of the guy, to post something he
doesn't have?

Which means what they need is help instead of back seat driving. How
about ][ users, is anyone able to find one author of one program not yet
released, and get it released? Does anyone know of any programs produced
by authors who live here in Nebraska? If so, I'll do my part.

Thank you. I did know that. Since I'm not sure which of my posts you are
responding to (I tried to follow the thread back, but I guess it didn't
go back far enough) I'm not sure what I said that you are responding to.
