Well, so it suit you. (to install it to Ur needs U want to compile SLRN first, am i
right?)
I, for one, would prefer good (doesn't necessarily need to be extremely fancy:-) easy
face (shape for non-programmers, that is), too (not just the right soul /
capabilities:-). 
And these two do not necessarily contradict..

ComOn. I NEVER saw any rights granted, like this in the license agreement, e`ven under
GENERAL. The fact, that they CAN do that techni`cally, doesn't mean they MAY - legally,
if there ARE laws (Oops, game [grin] rules, naturally speaking:-) of cos. Full stop.

The fact that MSG was sent (not to test group), even by mistake, makes it (part of
history)
irrevocable, after it appears in NG, I think; since others see, and may refer to it. You
may annul (desavoir) it in stead, by sending another MSG. I think:-) If COMmunication
works. Ale. Ale.
