Hi Jim,
It isn't on the installation CD-ROM(s) that came with
your eCS? I see it on my 1.1 CD-ROM. If you get
particularly frustrated with eCS, there is always good
old Warp. I have a Warp 3 box that I play around with
consistently.
Thanks for the tip on Rolla. I used to drive up there
from Ft. Leonard Wood. There used to be a good
Japanese restaurant on the right side of the 1st exit
when heading north on the interstate. Best wishes.
Sincerely,
James Cannon
