     I tried it, but I can't get it to work. It gives me a "runtime error 50003
unexpected error" message and then crashes before it even displays the program
window. In one of the folders for the program (SIGS) it has this James Dill sig
and a sig for Kangaroo, they both have the same web adress so I would assume
that it is Kangaroo. I can't even look at the ASCII because they have been
formatted somehow and the viewer that comes with it gives me the same error
message darnit.
