Thanks very much, Ed.  I'll be looking for the (fourth!) disk from PT.  I've
talked to Carol many times, and she's always very helpful.  I think they don't
quite know what to make of me.  It seems that if Murphy's law ever shows its
ugly head, it's always with _MY_ orders.  Anyhow, thanks again for your help.

I see by reading some of the msgs between Paul, Frank, Kevin, and you re the
Fest that you seem to have become the de facto PT spokesman, or chairman of the
PT User's group, or something.  Is that reasonably accurate?  If so, have you
ever considered making it official?

We have an SK*DOS User's Group, and Peter Stark's BBS.  But Peter's BBS is,
naturally, devoted mainly to SK*DOS, although he has very kindly allowed us a
section to talk about Minix and other OS's in general.  As for the User's
Group, the president, Sidney Thompson, seems to have disappeared into that
black hole called Minix, and may never be seen again.  (I'm semi-kidding
.. I understand that Sidney's on reserve duty at the moment, which I reckon is
a pretty fair excuse, but prior to that his involvement with SK*DOS had tapered
off once Minix showed up.)

Anyhow, a PT User's Group would be a nice thing to have around.  Do you know
Ron Anderson?  He and I, and a few other PT users, get together by mail once in
awhile.  Other than that, and Peter's occassional newsletter, it's tough to get
much info as to what the other guys are doing.
