I would love to make the macros available, however MKS is not connected
for ftp-ing and we have no mail archive software.  Alas I've received about
half a dozen macros, does this warrant an archive?

The problem with this is being able to go back in time and find macros
and articles that you've missed.  Fine if there were a known archive
site. 

Currently I seem to be "the keeper of editor.101, 102, & gap.doc".  I don't
mind reposting these articles and the macros ever few months as demand 
warrants it.  Currently the demand for these has dropped since the posting
of my Simple Editor. 

For everyone's information I currently have the following files:
