You will likely experience difficulty reading results of this program when run on operating systems newer than Windows 2000. In that event, we suggest you consider two options:
a) Seek computer assistance to create a "Program Information File" that will retain and slow some of the screen-output to enable reading the results;
b) Consider use of an alternative freeze-time program, developed at the
Univ. of California/Davis and available for a fee from World Food Logistics
Organization (http://www.wflo.org/hq/forms/freeze.pdf).
