Windows-based Tuning Program

[Tom Cole]

Bob,

I checked Dean's web page and couldn't find anything that says you _can't_ do this on a
PC. I do remember him saying that it would be _more difficult_ and that anyway the Mac
is the natural computer to use since it can be used stock out of the box.

Good luck on making your program work.
