RE: Device Programmer (fwd)

Franklin,

I have had two System 19s with Unipaks for years, and have never been able to
find so much as an operators manual for them. So, they assume the role of
ballast to keep my garage from blowing away when the Santa Ana winds kick up.
Some day soon, you may see mine on Ebay as well...

Jeff.
