    SInce it has been deemed not blasphemous to post here when one is 
looking for contract work, I shall do so. I have been programming in C 
on PCs running DOS for four years, and am looking for contract work to
last until mid-February, 1993. I am hard-working, a fast learner, and
work for a reasonable rate. I have included my resume below, and can be
reached at jamesf@btr.com, and by phone at 415-322-7367.

                      Software Engineer

                      Design and code various C and assembler programs which are
                      incorporated into our spreadsheet. These include features
                      such as highlighting cells with specific contents and an
                      add-in to attach electronic index cards to cells. Revised
                      our add-in function interface toolkit while translating it
                      from Lattice C to Microsoft C, and updated its document-
                      ation. Research converting other areas of the spreadsheet
                      to C and design new product features for future revisions.
                      Also one of a two person team which investigates and elim-
                      inates bugs and other inconsistencies in the spreadsheet.
                      This requires the use of commercial debugging tools, know-
                      ledge of the DOS BIOS system and familiarity with IBM PC/
                      AT and clone architecture. Assist junior level engineers
                      and our International department with understanding the
                      structure and design concepts of the spreadsheet.

                      eled cashflows of collateralized mortgage obligations. 
                      Also created customized versions of this model to process
                      deals backed by other than standard home mortgages. These
                      models involved the design of heavy number crunching, mem-                      ory conserving and time-efficient functions, the complete
                      designing and coding of all output reports and the conver-
                      sion of a DOS based model to XENIX. Re-styled and coded
                      the user interface system and researched the practicality
                      of a link-listed version utilizing total dynamic memory
                      allocation.
