 All of my software is designed to run on MS-DOS 2.1 or
 newer.  WHY? Well quite frankly Windows software takes up
 to much space on Personal Computers and quite frequently
 creates file compatibility problems.
 You can run my software on a Windows PC, I have included
 an Icon ( .ICO file ) for this purpose.
 Best of all, you can utilize an older PC and eliminate the

 on Personal Computers running DOS 3.1 or newer w/640KB RAM

 behave in a less than desirable way if run on a PC with
 a MonoChrome monitor.
 Technical Support is FREE for the 1st 30 days. After that
 period, support is billable.
 Any changes to the program after the initial 30 days is
