	If your date stamp is correct, then YES, the only
way that screen was created was on a DOS box and then
xfered over.

	fP Tech does not currently have a way to create color
screens on a UNIX box, but *I* do. It is a utility (written
in filePro) called fP Screen Painter. I sell it with two
other utilities in my filePro Toolkit #1.
