Nice  program, FATCAT.  I pulled the version 2.3 LBR file and began working
with  it.  I installed it on a Morrow system with no problems at all.  On a
Kaypro,  however,  I encountered a problem related to the exit selection on
the  main  menu.   After  pondering  it  for  awhile and playing with it, I
surmised  that  what is happening is that the <ESC> used to select the exit
is  being echoed to the screen (as are all the other menu options when they
are  selected),  and,  since  <ESC>  leads off many of the Kaypro attribute
sequences,  the  next  several characters which are sent through the CONOUT
routine  are  gobbled  by the ROM code.

So,  I  went  into the installation program and thought "OK, I'll specify a
dummy  sequence  for program exit (terminal reset) to pad the <ESC>." Sigh.
No  such  luck.   The  Turbo  install  program  won't  buy a terminal reset
sequence which begins with a printing character -- or so it seems.

Not  a  terrible  problem  by any measure, but rather annoying.  A printing
character, perhaps, for the exit selection in version 2.4?

Great program.
