With respect to the comments on viruses and ProSel, note that the author, Glen Bredon, uploads updates to ProSel to GEnie and CompuServe on a reg- ular basis. However, these uploads are intended for registered owners only and are encrypted. If you try to run one of these programs without decrypting them, very strange things may happen! This is not a virus, but rather a legitimate method of providing updates to proprietary software on a rapid basis. The best solution is to become a legitimate owner of ProSel and learn how to decrypt the files that Mr. Bredon has kindly provided. Henry Dowst GEnie: DOWST

I am a registered owner of Prosel, and I haven't received any updates/notices. Is there any chance of Glen posting his encrypted files to Apple2-l so those of use who are not on Genie, etc can get these updates? (also, some directions for de-crypting his files?)

The current version of Glen E. Bredon's Prosel (PROgram SELector) is v3.3, I believe. Registered owners can receive an upgrade by writing to Dr. Bredon (see last page of your Prosel manual for address). It is friendly, at least, to send him two disks, since you will be getting two disks from him. Those who are not registered owners, and wish to become so, should write to Dr. Bredon at 521 State Road, Princeton NJ 08540, enclosing $40.00. Outside of north america, there is an addition $5 charge for postage and handling). ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.
