WHAT AN INSTALL!!!  They asked me to reboot my system something like FOUR
TIMES!!!  It must have taken an hour to do (and I had to stuff around with
my CDROM which appeared to keep having errors which required me to keep on
clicking "retry").

However, having said that, it went in without so much as a murmur.  I don't
have a problem with the FAT cache being 14400, and I don't have a problem
with the icons not appearing on my desktop.  I don't even have a problem
with my video display, but maybe I'm not using SVGA or something (I don't
know).

Right at this moment I'm a happy camper with 48 meg to spare on my C drive!
Time to start rearranging the BBS I reckon!  BFN.  Paul. 

P.S. Ooops, one bug still there, Binkley has lines in the blue section on
the top left side.  If I exit Binkley and go back, it clears.  It may be
possible that that is a Binkley bug.

P.P.S. Next bug, I copied a file from one disk to another, and after that
it got most upset, it couldn't read the file, couldn't delete it, etc (this
is after using the "copy" command).  Actually, I copied an entire
directory. Fortunately I was able to recover the file from the original
disk, but had to go to DOS in order to delete the rogue file.

P.P.P.S. Next bug, I changed CDFS.IFS to use C:32.  It now says that I have
exceeded the limit, and it is using 32 instead.  Yeah, right.
