Um, when I try it I get:


LinkEd> altprog p.pub;cap=ia,ba,mr
EXPECTED FILECODE NMPRG FOR FILE "P.PUB"  (LINKERR 1124)

Since that's probably the same computer Michael was using... :)

I put a copy of the old CM "ALTPROG" program at:
   http://www.allegro.com/software/ALTPROG.LZW
(simply entering that as a URL should get your browser to ask where
to save the file, since our web server thinks ".LZW" files are octet-streams)

it's not pretty, but it seems to work.
