GR> In /micros/pc/garbo/msdos/tpascal (I think)

GR> I'm sure up to the /garbo bit... :(

Thanks for that. I might try it when I get my internet connection back.
Apparently Glenn Crouch offers a disk snail-mail service, that might be
easier.

GR> Yeah. The update file is released every 3 months or so on archie.au.

Good. I can certainly get them from either the archie site or from
Glenn's board - calling Perth (from Sydney) shouldn't be too bad just
for the updates.

GR> If you want to download these files be prepared for a hefty download!!!

I've heard ~7meg compressed, which is why I think I'll try and get the
full thing on disk, then get the updates electronically.
