Greetings Mike!

   A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a coded message from Mike Luther 
to Don Guy was intercepted...

 ML> However that toolset which let you do this for Borland PASCAL, if my

Not a problem in my case--all I'm dealing with at the moment are a couple of 
quick-and-dirty command line utilities.

Have you given any thought to taking the Java route?
