Hi Paul



 RM> I have a trivial little BC++/TVision 555 timer calculator program

the source alone comes to 21K, bit big for OZPD. The SI translation

stuff in it (SITEXT.CPP plus some stuff in VALIDS.CPP) might be

worth looking at, although some of its functionality is in a class

derived from Turbo Vision's validators, so it's TV specific.

Bloody hell, and I thought it was complicated. Ta for that - I've

just whipped up a batchfile to write the TIC file and copy the

target file to the OUT dir. Should arrive with this packet.
