Hello All,

I'm trying to find a Diz2Des.btm that Barry Block referred to in this
message:

=== Cut Begin: 4DOS.MSG ===

You might check this out for ideas. I call it Diz2Des.btm. I also have the
opposite one, etc.                                                ^^^^ ^^^

It is my hope that someone "captured" the BTM (if he did post it) and I
would appreciate it if they could repost it in this echo.

I would like a post from Barry, but I have not seen his name entered into
this echo for a very long time and I expect he has moved on to sunnier
climes.

On a brighter note, I was able to get Barry's Diz2Des.btm to operate after
I substituted Bruce Guthrie's CHANGE.EXE for the orignal REMVCRLF.COM that
Barry had used....

           Cheers ... Gerald
