As you wish.  However I fear that jpsoft may be on the way out,
with the reduction in DOS use.  It now pretty well depends on NT
users who want command lines, and is doing some retrenching - i.e.
Rex Conn took over operations and fired Mike Bessy.  Copies in a
fairly public place might be useful.  MS-DOS isn't free, AFAIK.
