Auke...

  Yes, one is in process. In the past year, I've been pretty busy plus I
still don't have the energy I had before my heart problems a couple of
years ago. In addition to working and SNIPPETS, I've also taken on the task
of compiling a list of recommended drivers for the Bass-DIY mailing list,
which has also been getting some of my attention. (If anyone else here is
interested in building their own loudspeakers, they can ftp the
Do-It-Yourself Loudspeaker Driver Selection Guide, file name diy-ldsg.txt,
from the SNIPPETS ftp site - it's about 200k).

  Yes, I have some of your stuff and some corrections to your older stuff.
One of the big changes I'm considering for this next release is to split
out all the DOS stuff into its own archive. I don't know yet that I'll do
this, but it would help reduce the size if I do separate out machine
specific code into separate archives. I'm also going to deep-six SNIPDIFF.
Nowadays, everyone seems to get SNIPPETS via ftp on a fast modem, so
maintaining SNIPDIFF is more trouble thaan it's worth. Pity - I put a lot
of work into the automatic creation and maintenance tools for it.
