  I'm afraid that a certain degree of instability crept into the exchange
algorithm used by my latest residence swap task.  As time passes the memory
management garbage-collection routines clear things up, but only as time
permits. For example, I recently disposed of the two Data Products 600 lpm
printers that I used on my PC.
 
  And yes, I checked the SPL pocket guide and MPE Quick Reference :-)

  I think it appends (I thought we put TERMIO in at one time?), but not
positive.  Dumping (FCOPY ..;CHAR) the BUILDINT program file would be a
good idea, and _for sure_ copy the original SPLINTR file first.
