I know that Linus is away but I tried to compile his source about string input. Now I did get 584 error from the squish.inc file. The errors were all duplicate labels. Anyway I did the regular Send(9prgmGSINPUT and all it did was display done. What am I doing wrong or is the source screwed up? Also how would it look for _vputmap instead of _putc.
