I heard that there was a program at one time called, "Big Blue Ball", but apparently its out of publication. Do you have any ideas? -- Tim Phelps -- The comments I made above are my own.

You could try checking CMD.

By the way, to all, please note this is a note I received through e-mail that I forwarded to this mailing list. (I do know about the BBR but I think the inquirer was asking a program for the PC.)
