68K .exe file will cause errors that differ depending on the system's software
and type of computer:

     SET TALK OFF   && without this line it works
     SET PRINTER ON && without this line it works
     mMain=0

     @  3,5 GET mMain  FUNCTION '*RT A'
     * TO SEE THE ERROR,CLICK ON THE RADIO BUTTON
     READ
     CLEAR && without this line it works

     SET PRINTER TO "STOX1A.TXT" && without this line it works

     SELECT DISTINCT BMASTER.SITEID;
        FROM BMASTER, SITE;
        WHERE SITE.SITEID = BMASTER.SITEID;
        INTO ARRAY aSTUDY

     WAIT WINDOW STR(ALEN(aSTUDY,1)) NOWAIT
