  Hi Fred! This is an excerpt from a reply to a long ago posted message
  that just came in. Even though I have a workable way of doing things
  for now, I am *always* intensely interested in QuickBasic libraries
  that do with serial communications and low-level system interrupts I
  can take advantage of.
  I don't presently have ANY plans for writing my own machine level code
  type of FOSSIL handler, but there may very well come a time when I am,
  or most likely run across a situation where I'll need to at least
  dabble a bit to gain direct access to system resources around somebody
  elses software in a way that they can both get along with. (Windows)
  You know what I mean. Anyway, if you could peek around a bit and see
  about snagging this EasyDoor library thats floating around I'd *LOVE*
  to see what it has to offer. Even if all it does is give me a good
  idea for something I can do myself it'd be worth it. The more
  extensive my QuickBasic programming library gets the more power I have
  as a programmer, so to speak. I very well may WRITE my own "Door
  Frame" software down the road, as presently my programs DO most
  functions these ready made door frames offer to do, but I'm always
  learning.. :-)
  Thanks,
  John Zortman
