  These modifications are fairly simple in Accu-Basic.  Say 0.5
hours coding, 1.0 hours testing, and 0.5 hours distribution.  Installation
support not included.  The time to negotiate exactly what to change
is extra and misunderstandings can multiply the whole effort.  :-)

  However, they would have to re-download.  If they have already or are about to do their L&As then this would probably not be an option.
