Dear Larry,

thank you for your nice comments!

I see:

     1.7 K of CODE plus 1.3 K of FBop resources

It is lacking doc and menus but it has hierarchical
folder processing and post-launch D&D.
So, on the balance you have done as much programming as my
demo (and in key respects more). And the size is the same.

Impressive.  A real challenge to the notion that
FB^3 will be significantly less space-efficient than FB2.

Keep at it; it's going to prove *very* instructive for me
and others.

             Cheers

I shall try one more day to further reduce the size of the
68k-application.

Then -- in 2001 -- I shall start to blow it up again by adding already
prepared features, such as Menus, About Dialog, Balloon Info, Open File
Dialog, Error Messages, Preferences and Processing Info.

Best,

Herbie
