Good luck with that! I wouldn't fancy processing an SMF 110 CMF record

To reveal a little more, what I might open source is a particular RMF SMF
record - with its own quirks. :-) But only a few per interval. Which
narrows it right down. :-)

Thanks everybody for the valuable help. I've finished this work now and

One of the worst things about CLIST is the extraordinary proliferation of

Do a search on amazon.com for "usb switch" and you find some.

I can't help you with that but I can note I have a Logitech K780 keyboard
and a Logitech M720 Triathlon mouse, both of which allow button-press
switching to 3 computers. (Right now it's Raspberry Pi and Macbook Pro.)
The universal receivers are in the Pi and the Macbook Pro is Bluetooth

Sounds good to me. It's no worse than a catalog search that returns

No, I meant EXECIO '*' DISKR ddn1 1 '(' STEM foo.Of course, if you've assigned
values to EXECIO, DISKR, STEM or FOO. then you'll need to quote th relevant
words, but not otherwise.,
