What goes on in your mind, what were you think when you attacked me out 
of the blue for reluctantly agreeing to improve the organize MM files, a 
task that I was / is very qualified for.

THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY ~20 POSTS TELLING ME TO KILL MYSELF!

And you are doing it again now and I do not understand why now just as 
before.

I did not have the capability of doing anything at all with the MM files 
as my Internet speed was so slow.

There were two or three helpers that volunteered to do the actual moving 
of files with me providing understanding and suggestions. They wanted to 
learn and discover new files that are just siting likely with few accesses.

Look at MM right now, nothing has been done at all AFAIK.

Based on my always having Virus Protection turned on and Earthlink's 
great checking of mail for virus (I have not seen any notice of 
Earthlink catching any in the last two years and the known SPAM count 
had dropped to three (3) in the last fourteen days (14)).

As my User ID is all over the Internet, I have made 3,360 posts since 
September 2005 to  my main forum.

I have done full scans often of all my computers and MSSE has detected 
three of which two were files I wanted to keep.

I just went back and tried to edit a post I made 06-29-2010, the forum 
software has changed several times and messed the post up so I canceled 
the update.

The posts are kept for much longer and can be edited.

No good known earlier backups that could have been provided to the new 
TandyCoCo.org forum. That may have failed also.

I trusted you to keep the files available and yes I do have backups of 
parts.

The person who took over the domain has shown that he has the skills to 
recover from some bad database failures. When I asked him about that he 
said NO FILES WERE OFFERED.

Bill has a set of C Compiler tools that have been tweaked for his use. 
If others wish to use then fine, I just am talking about the C Compiler 
from 2011 that Willard Goosey researched and I collected which was the 
main stream usage.

The digging into toolshed to build "make" showing problems is not 
surprising, few have ever tried to do that, at least they have not 
reported it.

I was surprised that Gene said I had a good copy of files.c, where and 
how the file was truncated is unknown.

I was getting ready to go back to my Delphi files to try and find a good 
copy of Make_TK.ar as I used it ~ 1990.

So I have backups for my work and that of others.
