I downloaded Hiarcs 7.01 and changed the DOS path for -x.  Result my whole
computer froze and I had to take it to a store for them to reload Windows 98.
Then again I tried it with ICD telephone instructions and now some of my DOS
coding is messed up so start my computer with some inappropriate commands.  I
love Hiarcs but DOS is miserable (and I'm well versed in DOS).  For now, I only
run Hiarcs from Win98 without any big hashtable and without opening book
modification.  Clearly, we must have a new version of Hiarcs for windows!
Apparently it is almost here though waiting to hear re upgrade from Hiarcs 7.
