I answered that above.  Was I not clear?  In case you didn't know, Nick made 
his own version of BinkD and incorporated it into D'Bridge as BINKDWIN.  There 
is also an OS/2 version.  Since many of us are running different operating 
systems and configurations, it's almost impossible to tell what is going on at 
someone else's system.  Then there are the various spftware programs in use and 
how they are run.  I always have been an advocate of keeping things simple.

Nick will have to answer that one to your satisfaction, I'm afraid.  The setup 
in D'Bridge is relatively simple, even for newbies.
