I would gather, given your nom-de-forum, that you've been using AIM since 1979, correct?
Yes. I first got Mr Lichello's book in 1979 at a Stars and Stripes bookstore in England. I've been using it ever since. I went from paper to spreadsheet with the advent of a program called Multiplan on a burroughs B-25 computer in the early 80s. I've done pretty well with it through the years.
As for the LD-AIM stuff, Mr. Veale has sent a separate reply to it. This board is a great place for advice and insight into AIM. So, Have fun with AIM!!
