my apologies for sending the info twice -- my error. having used PROBE
with great success for another receiver, (Optocom) i felt that news and
info about this new PCR-1000 version was both on-topic and of interest many
on the list. those who it did not interest could choose not to read it.
there is a specific reason i posted the text describing this new program
from the developers website: it runs under DOS. people on this list may be
surprised to know that some people still use DOS computers, and limit their
internet usage to text-only email (while i have windows computers, i also
have a DOS machine and sometimes use it for email.)
my post was especially for those people on the list, since the're likely to
have a high interest in a DOS application for the PCR-1000. simply posting
a URL for the website where that text was copied from would not be of use
to those people.
sorry if anyone was offended by the info. i have no affiliation with the
developer of PROBE other than being a very satisfied customer. at the risk
of offending the same people, i'll mention that i paid the introductory
price of $15 for PROBE1K, which will run in a DOS window on any computer
running Windows.

p.s. - if Max is concerned about wasting bandwidth, i suggest he compares
the number of bytes in my post with downloading the html from the website
it was copied from. oftentimes plain text is a superior medium, and PROBE
is a good example of that.
