		       (Address & resume are below)

      A computer engineer friend who is currently on leave without pay
  is desperately seeking some sort of contracted software design and
  development to make ends meet. He has already undergone chemotherapy
  and abdominal surgery during the last six months and is due for more
  surgery in a month or so. He has a 25Mhz 386/VGA system and a home
  office to work in, but he can't leave the area to work in another
  city until his doctor's give him a clean bill of health. He would
  like to work on projects using Unix (SCO, 386/ix, etc), MSDOS,
  MS-Windows, or OS/2-PM. Any other projects would be welcome as well.

      Please respond directly to him at the address on the following
  resume or call any time. He had his own software consulting business
  for over 5 years and is capable of working independently.
