Thanks Mark for the advice. I'll take a look at the code because I'm no
stranger to programming. Among other programs I did re-program the start
floppies for my CP/M computer to automatically start Turbo Pascal and
Turbo C from the boot floppy instead of having to first start the
Operating system from one floppy and then insert the Turbo "?" to start
the program.

I have however become somewhat older since then .

Have a nice day,

Holger
