Yes of course they would be of help, and I would certainly appreciate
the code. What would be of more help is how to get a copy of 2.3.3 via
means other than ftp, since I can only do ftp-by-mail (aaarrrgghh).
I'm on FidoNet as well, and if I can get a set of disks from someone
(say, with a tar.Z (.taz) file split over the disks with ARJ) I could
be a very happy camper. I don't run Un*x here, I run OS/2, so I don't
have access to everything many netters do.
