- You're the only person who has reported a problem. Given the tendency
- of Ada vendors to ship windowy readers for LRM these days, I suspect
- that few people will ever use this program.
-
- I am no longer employed by Norfolk State. I submitted this program
- to SIMTEL in 1988, and have not modified it since. Your report
- surprises me, because I thought I tested this sort of stuff back in
- 1988. I can test under a VADS 6.1 compiler, to see if I can duplicate
- your problem. However, I do not have an Ada compiler for an MS-DOS
- machine, or an MS-DOS machine usable for programming. If this problem
- is specific to MS-DOS, I don't have the resources to do anything about it.
