- There is a commercial package called Uniform -- been around for years,
- should still be in business. If you can't find it, ask and I'll look
- up the manual. Be sure that you don't pick up a second-hand copy for a
- different Kaypro, e.g., K10, as there are different versions of
- Uniform for them.
