Hmm ... not nice when that happens, not mad about BeOS, tho it is very nice 
in a number of ways, I am sticking to Linux, and might give FreeBSD a good 
go, when I get a system to run it on. BeOS lacks a number of things, notably 
Fido Software and a few other programs.

Have saved it, and will see if I can figure out how to compile the thing, I 
have half and idea, from when I was playing with Borland C++ Builder 3.1 in 
WIN98, should not be too different from what I did then while I was playing 
one afternoon, and got a few demo programs to compile. :-))
