Yup, that does; provided that this Microsoft Pascal unit matches the Turbo
Pascal unit used to compile Signwriter 4.4. With a little checking there's
also a definition of the FCBFQQ record in a file on the same server. :-)
Don't know how you found this because it never appeared in any Google
search I made.

Now perhaps I can write some portable versions of these functions so I can
complete a port or two. :-)

Thanks.
