A86: "BAD" input routine I posted




The input routine I posted is NOT BAD. It just doesn't fit in your application.
The
routine is used extensively in the 86 system. The problem is using it outside
of
the system. I am working on a stand-alone input routine for use in 86 apps. I
wouldn't
have given you the entry point if I had known it would have not fit in your
application.

Later,
Pat

It didnt matter if you renamed MR or not, the input routine is that bad!
Glad you like ASE,
