 Well, I spent about three hours the other day getting the FP32
 files.  (In-Joy's "make slow" setting for reliability over speed
 makes for a much more stable connection than whatever Trumpet's
 doing under Win3.)  Reading up on that, and will probably try
 the fix this weekend.

 Think I've seen mention of it.  Text-based is usually better.
 Not necessarily command-line typing out every command to get a
 file, but a simple text screen where you just move a select-bar
 and do things, no pointer silliness.
LL> It's an echo definitely worth monitoring and participating in
 I probably read it (the echo names on this board are less than
 well thought out, so I can't be sure it's the main OS/2 echo),
 I just haven't tried posting there recently.
... People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
