Oh!  Now you tell me! ;-))  people should really e-mail me "personally" at:

terrellf-at-uswest-dot-net 

instead of the twftesla account.  Anything sent directly to
twftesla-at-uswest-dot-com is just a mouse click away from being sent to the 700+
folks out there... ;-))  It also helps me keep things straight as to what
mail goes where...

Neat!  It is now ET5.31 (I was working on it Friday again ;-)) at:

http://users.better-dot-org/tfritz/site/programs/E-TESLA5.ZIP

but the modifications are minor clean up, accuracy, and a bug fix or two
plus better QBASIC optimization.  Probably won't affect other versions
much.  The "revis.txt" file tells of the changes in any case.  I now output
a diagnostic file also that helps me figure out what is going on.

Having any nice graphical output would be a major help!  I "played" with
this a little but got nowhere due to QBASIC and my lack of coherent
programming skills.  ~:0)

I expect the present version to stay stable for "awhile" ;-))

Cheers's

	Terry
