	Recently, I received the following message in my mailbox:

	This makes the fourth such request I've had so far (that I can
recall).  I'll consider this a deluge.

	I don't consider non-C'ers slobs (lesser primates, maybe, but not
slobs :-) ).  My original speculation was that, like previous hacks I've
done, this would get widespread distribution through users' groups, net
users with the 3.20a Manx compiler, Fred Fish, etc.  I find now that that
process takes more time than people are willing to wait.  Fair enough.  I
get that way, too.  (You realize, of course, that my ultimate ambition is to
have a Fish Disk with nothing but my stuff on it. :-) )

	Attached below is a uuencoded executable image of Robotroff.  To
make use of it, cut where indicated, and run it through uudecode.  The file
size should turn out to be 10548 bytes.  When downloading to your Amiga with
Kermit, be CERTAIN that you set image transfer on both ends.  Hope you like
it.

	BTW, if anyone out there will be attending the West Coast Computer
Faire this year, you can get a copy of Robotroff (or anything else I might
have written) directly.  Just look for the guy wandering around in the
cape.
