	ABSTRACT FOR PASCAL/Z USERS GROUP LIBRARY DISK


Files with ext = LIB are Pascal source files. Files with ext = SRC are
assembly language source files that are specifically written for Pascal/Z.
Programs on this diskette were selected by Ray Penley.



+++ A SMALL LIBRARY (ASL) +++

version and rename to ASL.REL
