Kim _might_ have something in the soure code area, but I got this setup as
a 'package', same as Mike Christian, way back when, and the code 'probably'
wasn't part of it, as it would have made the package larger and more
confusing.    :-)

For that matter, 1.99L isn't too 'Y19' compliant either!   :-)

About once every two months, I get a "grunged message" notice from my
bossnode:

I sent that 1.99L to you primarily so you could get an idea of the screen
format that I am used to.  If it is possible, _I_ would be happy (if it is
feasible) to be able to config 'current' versions to 'look' the same.  :-)

I have no doubt that I'll be upgrading before the 'Y2K', and I neither
expect not request that you try patching this ancient version.

Keep your head clear for the current version!   :-)

      Good luck...  M.
