Loyd --

About five years ago, I wrote a terrifice *CHOICE program in CL; it was
published in Midrange Computing.

The beauty of my program was that it was well parameterized. That is, you could
easily go through and change about five lines and re-use the code.

I even created a version for the old DOS version of flex/EDIT that prompted you
and filled in the code. Slick.

Lemme look around and see if I can find it. When I do, I'll post it to my web
page and let you know.

Peace,
