That is the usual story.  What I don't like about msged on linux is the
need for DOS formats.  This is supposed to be unixie.  So I am thinking of
writing a filter so that all messaging, including email, can be handled by
any text editor.  No kludges in the internal, local format and just send
the DOSie crap to the rest of the stinkin', sorry world and let them worry
about it, the FTN headers especially.  Man is that stuff ever stupid. 
You'd think MS had a hand in deciding that silly format.  :-/

Anyhow, we'll see later.  Managed to get all the processing libs up to
speed on the SMP guy - tried tested and hopefully true - so now I want to
do some REAL work with it.  f95 will have to wait but I am sure it'll get
there ... eventually.

Hopefully this week but if not then next week.  I have to get this Gateway
board multiprocessing after that but I already know that my stuff will work
on there perfectly.  Gotta love when that happens.

 RJT> Yeah,  there's been a whole bunch of it the past week or so...

So far everything has been okay here, which is a surprise.  Usually it is
the other way around.  Hopefully I'll have everything up to snuff with the
inverter before the end of the year.  Nothing that a windfall of cash
couldn't solve though.

Life is good,
Maurice
