I'm probably going to get *flamed* for this but I've just sent a file to APPLE2-L@BROWNVM.BITNET - which should then, I hope, become part of LISTSERV@BROWNWVM.BITNET. The file: AUTOHINTS.EXEC (4 bit EXEC) will BSAVE itself as Auto.Hints so PLEEZE have a blank, formatted disk ready when you download this and EXEC it under ProDOS. his is This is Rich Love's *shareware* program - it'll cost you $10 but is probably a lot cheaper than calling your mechanic every time your car has a problem. This ABASIC program, after being EXEC'd will give you some hints on what is wrong with your car's (1) Engine System (2) Starting System (3) Battery and charging system (4) Cooling system (5) Suspension and Steering (6) Brakes If you choose any one of 1-6 listed above, you'll then be prompted for what could possibly be the problem, i.e., SUSPENSION and STEERING: Car wanders? Erratic steering when braking? Steering wheel doesn't return to center easily after making a turn? and so on; after choosing erratic steering when braking you'll then get a list of 5-10 things that might have to be checked to correct the problem. This file can be *requested* from LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET. -- Patt Haring UUCP: ..cmcl2!phri!dasys1!patth Big Electric Cat Compu$erve: 76566,2510 New York, NY, USA MCI Mail: 306-1255; GEnie: PHaring (212) 879-9031 FidoNet Mail: 1:107/132 or 107/222
