That's good :))

Of course, there were no new file announcements today...  I'lllet you know as
soom as I know something more, be it good or bad.

Well, I think yhat question is academic now that the problem is solved.

ADSL came first in this village.  I moved to it when my ISDN card died about
2.5 years ago.

It's still changing every day.  Enhancements and bug fixes.  The author is very
keen.  Usually when you report a bug it will be fixed within a couple of days.
When I started playing with Linux and thinking about Fido software for it, I
could not find anything I liked until I met mbse.  There were a lot of problems
with it then!  I got a reward for reporting the most bugs :))  But I had been
running Maximus and Squish under MS-Dos since March 1992!

I Seem not to get to do much "private" programming these days.  And anyway, I
am anCbete, so would not be a great help.  My main languages are Fortran,
Pascal, COBOL and Abal.

Groetjes,

          Hans.
