Huh? to your "Huh? "USEFUL" is an in-joke around here, as are the do-nothing, no-purpose programs. Try SEXFUN (DL3, I think), PIZZA.CLC in DL2, USEFUL.100 IN DL4, ISOBOX.100 in DL3, RADIAT.TXT in DL8… and there are a few more I can't recall at this exact moment…

I remember USEFUL. Remember me, I used to be "Jason" with the laser axe. Hmmm, another USEFUL program. I'll have to investigate this further. By the way, I passed USEFUL on to a reporter, who in turn passed it on to some of his friends in a couple of local users groups. They were astounded! Regards, Cork.

Asys, But if it's anything like your program SCANIT, I can't wait to try it! Don

Well! I don't know what you have against SCANIT! It's a perfectly USEFUL program as far as I'm concerned…. At last run, find I have almost 700,000 bytes in the database (almost 10% of the total database), and have had over 23,000 accesses of my files!!! You know of course, that you can use SCANIT to track your own, or anyone elses production record. Well, there's some of us who like to keep those kinds of records.

Tony, I know. I have run SCANIT, and it works well! By the way, I tried your new SPOT program in DL3, and am truly impressed! It puts you up there in the ranks of Rick Perry, Woods Martin, and David Sumner as a sophisticated programmer! Why have you been hiding those talents? Don
