I just came back from a little visit to the US Robotic BBS.
Haven't loged on there for 14 month and the lousy bastards made
me rejoin the club ;-)
 
I had a look at the available SDL files and behind each is a warning
that it is only for the country it is designed for.
The File for Australia is called SLD_61.EXE 61 beeing the country
code for OZ, as we all know.
 
This magic "A" could stand for Austria, Andorrah, Albania, and God
knows which other Countries start with an A like Australia forinstance.
Maybe this will explain to some who just cannot fathom why some one
does not automatically  assumes that an A stands for Australia.
61, that's easy as far as I am concerned and would have not been
beyond me, hi Russell.
 
The other SLD's for the domestic one are as old as the hills
and I am rather keen to get the latest one.
Please let me know if you have it and I will freq it of you
or anybody else for that matter.
 
BTW I made a capture of my visit, if you'd like the view of the
file areas I visited, I'll pipe that down to you.
 
Thanks +
Greetings Eric
