Well, Martin Polland is suppost to do a bug release soon. and Marty-Gard end
up being Telegard 2.7. 
I run "telegard" but I have the source. I've been taking out the back doors
like logoff.bat and so forth. I have no interest in releasing my modded
telegard code like Cott Lang has with his Renegade. I just feel SO much
secure with my modded copy. =)
Rob Merritt, 

My opinions are mine alone.

Well, Marta
