Please pardon what may sound like a nitpick, but could you send it
out one more time, only clear this time? Some of us unfortunates don't
have modems with our Apples, and I can't think of a way to load it without
typing it in. (My terminal at work is a Zenith Z-100. It does have a 5.25
drive, but it's double-sided and not Apple-compatible.)
Sure would appreciate not having to type it the way you sent it
before.
As long as I'm already typing, I may as well fan the fire, too. To
those who say "Death to Ada!", please consider the alternative. Ada is
killing JOVIAL. I don't know if the rumor that it didn't have any I/O is
true, but it did seem to be limited to defense contractors only. (Does
that make it worse than GOTRAN?) Nuff sed.
