On 05-May-00, Marion E. Wyatt said something totally profound about [STRICQ] STRICQ v2 feature request that made me ponder...

heheheh... shame on you! Causing trouble on TWO lists :) I'd like to try
using some of the features in my ARexx scripts, but I'm not sure where to get
developer info on the aml.library. On the CD? I haven't looked honestly
