     Greetings,

     Two weeks ago, I e-mailed Tom Jennings with a questions or two, but
     still awaiting an answer from him.  Is he around?

     Last week, I mentioned about having been Editor of FidoNews for a
     year.  Now is the time I pass the position on to whoever might be
     interested in taking it on.  I therefore await response from suitable
     person(s) who is interested in the position.

     Well, it seems that FidoNet is ticking along just fine, as there are
     contributions towards your favourite reading time.  Whatever, you
     the saying - no news is good news.

     Enjoy it.

     Latest Greatest Software Versions
     by Peter E. Popovich, 1:228/158

     Well, it has been quite a while. Been wondering if I should come
     back. Guess I just did. <grin>

     Everything is out of date. I've got a backlog, but while I catch
     up on old mail, I also want to get new mail as well. So write me.

     There's been some speculation about web page listings and e-mail
     addresses for this list. I do plan to add them to the web version
     of this list within the next couple of weeks. Please send them in.

     Please note the new contact info:
