                             ADENDUM TO README.1ST

                                  FLAG1 TEXT

              THESE CHANGES CAN STILL BE MADE IN (FLAG2.PRG)

        I have added some code to the previous file "FLAG.TXT" in "FLAG.ARC".
I found that some people might want to check longer strings than me so for
these people I have added the ability to designate your own number of checks.
It is best if the number is divisable by 3 but not necessary, the program
will round it to the nearest divisable integer.  Otherwise the program is
the same, the higher the number of checks the slower the program runs.

        By changing a few lines of code (adding or deleting) you can have
"FLAG1.PRG" print more than just what I have it print.

        Go to the "DO CASE" statement in the program.
        Add/Subtract any of the "CASE" statements.

        For adding:

                Use the format that I have used, also note that you will have
                to make the "IF flag <= mtick-4" reflect any changes you wish
                to make, by adding to the "4".

                         If you want to print out more matches found:

                         "IF flag < mtick-5 or 6 or 7 etc..."
                         and then correspond the following "CASE" statements
                         "CASE flag = mtick-6 or 7 or 8 etc..."
                         "STORE "Your new message here:  " TO mnote"

        For Subtracting:

                Use the format that I have used, also note that you will have
                to make the "IF flag <= mtick-4" reflect any changes you wish
                to make, by subtracting from the "4".

                        If you want to print out less matches found:

                        "IF flag <= mtick-4 or 3 or 2 etc..."
                        and then correspond the following "CASE" statements
                        to match, I would suggest that you comment out these
                        instead of deleting them.  You never know when you
                        might need them.


        Well I hope you all enjoy this and please keep letting me know what
else would make it better and what you think of this program.  Any and all
suggestions (good, preferably) are welcome.  Thank you for your input.
