- the value associated with any label (except RECORDs) at
- any time.
-
- . (OMIT0) command -- Like (OMIT), this command allows

- NOTE
-
- This version of Decode It! is valid until December 31, 1995.
- It will still run after this date, but the software will
- display a message stating that it is outdated. This prevents
- old, obsolete shareware versions from circulating. Therefore,
- you are sure to get the best, most current version of Decode It!.
- If you wish to have software without the message after 1995,
- please send us your disk and sufficient postage to pay for a
- two ounce package (stamps are OK). We'll return your disk
- with the latest shareware version of the software on it.
