I have been playing with D'Bridge a little. My Internet Rex has issues
working in my windows 10 VM.  Piss me off...

I'm trying to figure out what version of BinkD... there must be 7 or 8
different versions for windows alone... Pearl...

Anyway, would be nice if JoHo made some small changes to FD so that it
would dove tail into Bink a little better.  Kinda like what D'Bridge
does... A 16bit Mailer that has code added into it.  I know it might be
more than that.... But it can't be that bad
