From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@simtel20> Sorry, MDM712 doesn't support the MM100. Don't spend any time trying to change it since Irv Hoff removed nearly all the comments from the source code, thus making it impossible for anyone other than him to update the program. He has done this to several other public-domain programs (such as NCAT) and the RCPM Sysops are starting to talk about not supporting any of the programs he has done this to. We've had numerous complaints about the stripping of comments and updates for cosmetic reasons or the removal of features he "doesn't like". Irv has become very popular with end-users who don't have any interest in modifying or improving programs, but he is incurring the wrath of public-domain programmers and RCPM Sysops. There is a serious confrontation brewing over this. --Keith
