*** REPLACE THIS BIT WITH YOUR BAUD ***

Some various and sundry questions about Mac appls.

First, does anybody know where to find that equation processor
that was under discussion a couple of months ago?

Second, how can i get MacTerminal to stop saying there's no modem
connected?  It complains but goes ahead and completes dialing
anyway.  Do i have to carry DTR, CTS, etc. to the modem? Right now
i'm just using ground, transmit and receive.

Finally, has anyone written something that will let the user
rearrange the order of DA's, either alphabetically or user
specified.  olson@harvard posted a message two weeks ago telling
how to do it with the Resource Editor, but it seemed rather cumbersome.
I heard that Hertzfeld wrote such a beast (rumor rumor rumor).

Yes, the program written to alphabetise DAs is 'ALPHADA', it runs as
the startup program on a bootable disk, then exits to minfinder (if there)\
or Finder.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&ZZ
