Hello David,

I am posting this because my mail to you bounced back. Yes I would
be interested in your code, if you could E-Mail the source code to
me at soofi%po8600%DuPont.com@relay.cs.net

After I posted the message, I got couple of other suggestions and have
since fixed the problem with Jim Kent's routines (the IFF stuff that
came with Manx). I am still interested in your solution though, as Jim
Kent's stuff doesnt quite work with HAM.
