Yup, but I've written a lot of stuff I use every day for ham radio stuff for
it. MIght also put a speaking ver of
slackware on a machine around here as well, but one or the
other has to happen first. WIfe isn't savvy enough to do
what needs to happen to keep systems running.

Of course, it just doesn't stay in my message bases after

message bases.

True, and nothing is broke here at the moment, at least for
nm the way I'm routing it now <g>. HOWever I think SEan has pointed me toward
the answer to that riddle.
