That's good :))

Of course, there were no new file announcements today...  I'lllet you know
as soom as I know something more, be it good or bad.

Well, I think yhat question is academic now that the problem is solved.

ADSL came first in this village.  I moved to it when my ISDN card died
about 2.5 years ago.

It's still changing every day.  Enhancements and bug fixes.  The author is
very keen.  Usually when you report a bug it will be fixed within a couple
of days. When I started playing with Linux and thinking about Fido software
for it, I could not find anything I liked until I met mbse.  There were a
lot of problems with it then!  I got a reward for reporting the most bugs
:))  But I had been running Maximus and Squish under MS-Dos since March
1992!

I Seem not to get to do much "private" programming these days. 
And anyway, I am anCbete, so would not be a great help.  My main languages
are Fortran, Pascal, COBOL and Abal.

Groetjes,

           Hans.
