Re: Compass Software

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

not sure i'm not by my compass machine right now.

manually it's code#64 or #63 cant remember..not enough beer...one is for

schedules (rather than the quickie way) then you may need to set the clock.
Mark will know...I'm not at the orifice right now...sorry.
