   Unfortunately at this time I am unable to continue this project.  I hope to   
   resume this in the future as I feel it is a good endeavor. Thank you for your   
   interest in this project.  I also received some good suggestions in the   
   comp.sys.cbm newsgroup. I    
   have requested a refund to the two members that supported the effort.
