- A contribution would greatly be appreciated, and site contracts are available
- for these routines. They are very reasonable priced(enough to get me through
- the remainder of school). $40 is the suggested contribution for each particular
- system this is used on, and greater than three particular systems is $24 per
- system. This system should not(can not) be used in governmental or corporate
- sites without this fee.

- This editor and similar implementations over 400 hours of data entry exper-
- ience, so the editor when placed into a user code should work very wellllllll!
- Upon this payment will be methods included on a disk to implement in a general
- editing routine for all tables, remember the effort here is to make a general
- purpose editor to save hours(AND I MEAN HOURS) of programming to get a good
- editor for each appliation. Also on the disk will be a programmers dicussion
- of the editor, and examples of how used, a Purchase order system, and others.
