I'm using version 2.0.  But I thought about it overnight, re-looked at what
I have, and I realize that I made a mistake with that statement.  What it
is, is that I wrote some of my own routines to do such things as "clrscr"
(Clear Screen), "getdir", and some others and then I combined these
routines
into programs which do some of the things I want them to do.

Sorry - It has been several months since I wrote the things and I have
gotten
them mixed up in my mind with some of the stuff I've done at work (on a
true
unix system :) ).  Since I name my commands the same no matter what system
I
am on (after all - once you have learned the commands on a system you
usually
wind up with the same functions - just different names).  So how I have
implemented it doesn't matter that much to me.  Except in the present case
of course.
