  The source code is available upon request.  However, I don't think it
  will be of much help in the Win evnironment, since it was written for
  compiler (Mill, Hill, & Canterbury Modula-2)  which does not exist in that environment.
  It might be possible to port it via the XDS Modula-2 compiler ( after adjusting all the kernel
  API calls ).   Sorry.
