I don't know about that...       :-)

I got a couple of different packages from m$,  and could't get either one of
them working here.  Which is why this (dos/dv) box is the least connected of
the four machines sitting here...

If it weren't for ncsa telnet's ftp software,  it wouldn't be connecting at
all.  And I somehow managed to break that a while back.
