- Great, it took me 10 years to find out that Tandy Software Assembly even
- existed thanks to Tandy sales people. As you say, again Tandy hides out in
- Fort Worth, and it takes a pry bar to get around the sales cherades and access
- the golden cow. Also, I have tried to send you e-mail but it doesn't go
- through. You mentioned that 3.2 Xenix Help files never were released as a
- product. I seem to be missing several manual pages for "ADJ_CLOCK" and
- "AUTOBOOT". Do you have them?
