i'm not...

 KS> doesn't  even know once upon a time there was a thing like OS/2.

yeah, that's still no excuse...

>  all over Fidonet,
 KS> Fidonet?

are you that far ahead of where the real world started that you don't
remember the real world's past?? ;) ;)

fidonet was =the= bbs network that everyone used before anyone had heard of
the internet... and arpanet was barely heard of...

 KS> but  there was simply no-nothing. It's harsh a World, isn't it?

without ray's work on the X00 FOSSIL driver, many bbs' wouldn't have been
able to operate...

 KS> I've forwarded the 2 messages I'd could find to this group. It's
 KS> about  all you can get I'm afraid.

i'll have to see if i can find them... i think i saw them but not sure... i
don't recall a "forwarded" header in them if what i saw was
them...

 KS> Incidentally, there are other Ray Gwinn around (there are even 2
 KS> "Kris  Steenhaut" on the internet), so I suggest we keep our heads
 KS> clear and  don't mix the one with the other.

yup... so i'm aware while trying to research this and find out if he truely
did pass with no one really noticing... that's about the worst part of
it... especially on the fidonet side considering his contribution(s)...
without his SIO package, my bbs and ftn mailer would not be available via
telnet on the internet... in the DOS world, before the internet, i used his
X00 package and another FOSSIL driver, BNU, written by australian David
Nugent...
