Being on a computer : : should make it easier to pass on to following : : generations because updating and distributing : : it becomes so easy. I only wonder whether : : dbaseII and cpm will still exist when it's my : : grand childrens turn to keep the thing up to : : date!! They'll probobly be updating it on their : : wristwatch or god knows what else. : : Well I wrote this thing while living in Paris : : in 1983 and Bill Graham who organised the first : : French Osborne user's group (Osborne was the : : first portable computer) suggested I toss it, : : like a note in a bottle, into the seas and : : rivers of public domaine software. Since you're : : reading this now, it must have washed up on the : : distant shore of your computer. If you like it, : : hate it, use it or whatever I'd like to know so : : please send me a note in a bottle: SAM WASHBURN : : 3 Temple Place, Andover, Ma. 01810 U.S.A. : : TYPE ANY COMMAND #COMMAND :
