Nick,

I'm not so certain about that. I used D'Bridge since 1989 and it wasn't until
late-1994 that I rose to some kind of prominence. His Z2 business was handled
by Tom Ordelman, a person that gives you the creeps, and Chris' parents were
his business managers ... everything went via them and I think they didn't even
know the on/off-switch of a PC.

NA> The original author supported D'Bridge well into 2000, 2001 I believe...

Actually ... "no" ... after some of us twisted his arm at some point he
released a Y2K-version which missed the mark completely. It had been a while
since there had been an update and what he released was obviously to satisfy
the questions, but it wasn't stable at all ... after less than an hour I
deleted it, went back to the previous version and started working around the
problems up to the point of even making my own IP-implementation for D'Bridge
so I could run binkd... and then you showed up ...

NA> No complaints, no nitpicking... no noise... not even ranting from Mark
NA> Lewis.

That's because you use capital letters.
