Hmm ... will wait for the release of XMSGAPI 1.6 and TimEd  1.11.a4, unless I 
suddenly end up eith nothing to do here.

Used that on FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE, run near all programs I tried, except IREX, 
for some reason.

Hmm ... well if time presents itself, I will setup husky on that system 
again, think I still have enough HDD space, and maybe find the problem is not 
insolvable or as difficult as I was led to believe.

Last SuSE I ran was 6.1. :-), you would seem to have better hardware than I 
do, if you are running all that under VMware. :-))

Nice. :-)
