I have RXTT28 (?) here,  but since it's in INF format and since I'm not
actually _running_ Warp here at the present time,  it's not of much use to
me.

I've been working on getting Warp up and running here since February of last year...!

Same here.  Besides which I get enough of that "bloody" stuff at work.

Good one!  I'll have to remember that.

We're moved,  and I'm still carrying "stuff" up the stairs, 
trying to get things sorted out,  so it'll be a while, but somewhere I have
some notes as to just what I needed to do to get things set up here.  The
phone lines will be a little while yet,  so maybe it's a good time to
finish it up,  given that I don't have to worry about the bbs being down
and all.
