Hi Jon,

This message took only 3 days longer than your CompuServe message to
get here. I guess that's why we pay CIS the big bucks.

I just faxed it off as I was typing this reply. Faxworks for OS/2 is
great for that sort of thing! I have asked for the images pack via CIS.

I downloaded my copy from Pete Norloff's OS/2 Shareware BBS, here in
the Virginia suburbs of Washington.

I wait with eager anticipation!

In the mean time, I'll probably be locked in a room in front of a
keyboard too. Mainframes are booming again in large corporations here.
We've just set a company record for new sales in the month of May.
Since our flagship product is a performance tool that allows greater
bang-for-buck out of a mainframe, lots of _major_ corporations are
trialling or have recently bought our performance product. I am
currently developing release 3 while addressing user reports on release
1. (Release 2 is in Japanese, so I don't touch it if I can avoid it at
all.)

The only problem with all this is that it cuts into my time
playing^D^D^D^D^D^D^D programming OS/2. Still, I am finding time to do
a few somewhat trivial things. I just received my Project Gutenberg CD,
so I plan on developing a little program to scan for text and place it
on the OS/2 clipboard so I can quote it in mail or word processing. The
clever part is going to be searching the text when I cannot remember
some of the hokey spelling that was used in centuries past. But there
should be a few hours interesting playing^D^D^D^D^D^D^D programming
involved.

Regards

Dave
