Ah!  I obviously don't get out much anymore.

Senility rearing it's ugly head perhaps.  Actually I was never much of a
gamer on the computer.  Card games but not anymore.  I like tinkering and
tweaking.

Cool!  Why didn't you say so.  I've done Fortran but not for some years
now.  Always had it in the back of my mind though as I have (had? It's on
floppies so I don't know if they're any good any more) much Fortran source
from those days that I was thinking of porting.  Trouble with that idea is
that I keep finding better stuff.  :-/

Anyhow, I now have everything I needed to get done up to snuff so it looks
like I'm ready to start putting the boots to protocols/transfers and the
such.  Will keeep you apprised as things progress.

Life is good,
Maurice
