File specs?

[Wayne Smith]

As usual I didn't explain it carefully enough.  BKW missed the point.
Having been around since the early BBS days with fp, I have learned a lot
more perhaps than I should have with help of a few fp genius's and was able
to sell and support a  few fp runtimes here locally.  In the course of
doing same I was always bragging about how great fp is with my friends /
clients / family and its fairly simple data base structure.

When I see somebody hammering away at the very tool that I have come to use
and enjoy, he seems to have taken some high ground that I do not know of.
I have never seen anything posted to the fp list from him that would be
helpful to an fp programmer,  the web, linux perhaps that area he knows and
his helpful.

I will crawl back under my rock and monitor the fp list and hope that the
real fp tips come back before the few clients I have die off.

Sincerely
