  Yair... the dickheads!

  I took that out and nothing happened on Paul's board, but it's a
good idea anyway. The SPCUG used to get a bit stroppy if you barged
straight in.

  Yes! That pause at the end can be quite long, but only occasionally.
Sometimes it hangs up immediately, and other times it sits there for a
good 10 seconds.

  (grin) I'll only use it to freq useless files at first.

  It's a pity Paul writes C. I really can't make head nor bloody tails
out of C. I can write it okay, but programmers get carried away with
how easy it is to write C in shorthand, as if the stuff you type on
the screen matters a rat's arse!

  It's funny. I'm progressing with VB to the stage where I seem to
know it ALL. It means I'm due to come a gutser and learn some more,
but programming is not all that hard. Most of it is double-guessing
what is likely to go wrong, and I'm good at that anyway. It's nearly
time I had a fiddle with assembler.
