 Hi John

 At DOC's Place I set my choices and now just click the download QWK
 from his home menu.  I have a batch file to set the computer up for old
 fashioned editing.

 I'm using BlueWave with Qedit to handle FIDO mail in a DOS window under
 XP Home.  Complete with taglines et all, but it takes a patch to get
 over the Y2K problem.  Dale Ship, moderator on the Cooking acho wrote a
 nice one and I have it installed.  You have my email now, so if you can
 handle an attachment let me know in email and I'll send it.  If you
 would like, I will send the entire package, that stuff is so old, you
 can no longer register it.  It's no longer supported by the authors and
 for all practical purposes can be considered abandoned now.

 Would like to see more of you in here, so if I can be any help,
 let me know.  I'd be glad to send everything including my batch
 files.
