Keith Peterson, mail bounces: I've uploaded SNAP, please post instructions for those who want it how to get it. If you need a dbase program anything, get this program. It does lots of things, formatting code given one root program name, drawing program and database trees and structures. It has other options too; have fun. Bill davidsen (his spelling(!)) wrote a lousy message to this group not contributing much except a flame for ibm computers and unewsgroup members. Maybe he'll go away. Fragments (less is better here) are below.

Hmmmm, they make a group comp.binaries.ibm.pc, and they would rather we not post binaries to it.

I don't see any dead fish here. He had no signature. Surprise he's ashamed. Craig

Sorry, Craig, as I'm sure other folks have told you by now, Bill Davidsen was not the a**hole whose comments you were justifiably blasting. Bill made some comments about the Fido network, and then some nincompoop named Chuck Brunow (loci@csccat) made the comments you referred to. Brunow has spouted a lot of real trash since he showed up. Maybe if we just ignore him he'll go play in the street or something.
