OTOH,  I've never bothered looking at what you had to do with pkzip to do
that...  :-)

Want a switchbox?

I'm beginning to wonder if that's something I need to look at here?

Got this P200 here that I've been fighting with to try and get Slackware
8.1 intstalled to.  I thought I had problems with ram,  and have been
swapping ram out to all sorts of different configurations,  but it seems to
be getting worse and worse.  It was fairly stable with a Slack 8.0 install
and 4 4M parts in there,  but...

OTOH,  maybe it's time to use that last (FX) board out of the pizza box.
