  I've written that all down so I won't forget. What? Why did I just 
write these funny numbers and letters down? OCXS? Ox's! It's obvious
I have misspelt oxen. Sorry about that.

 KR> personally, when apd comes out as a 32 bit vcl, i'll use that,

  I like reinventing wheels, and I have arranged my life so I have
hundreds of man-hours to spend doing what I like. And besides, it
doesn't look all that hard, now that I've got an idea what a Windows
message is.

  I think I'll go back and have a go at DOS and registers. That looks
lie fun!

Regards,
Bob
