Jim Farrior was a long-term friend of mine. As he was getting old, I asked
him if he would send me the uncompiled GW BASIC for THE MILL, he told me he
had already taken care of it. I think it was a man from Illinois.

Jim died, no one came up with the source code, Jim's daughters looked in
his records and none was found.

So it seems to be lost, but it's an amazing program to do all it does in
640k of memory.

I recommend everyone try it once, it teaches and sends American and
International Morse.

One of the practice sessions is the messages from SOS PRINSENDAM including
the 4 second autoalarm signal.
