I've written some free utilities which will help you interface the PageSat news feed to Waffle's news system, should you jump into this. They are DESQview compatible and will allow you to run the news feed on an already very busy system with little impact, OR they'll allow you to utilize a slow, old 286 that you cannot bring yourself to junking just yet. -- Jack Kilday | jkilday@nlbbs.com The Northern Lights BBS | -=- 207-761-4782 (v.32bis/HST) | 4-Nodes, 700 Megs * Internet: UUCP, FTP, Telnet

Sorry it took me some time to say thanks, I ended up working 22.5 hours straight on a Novell File Server rebuild for a customer...I'm sleepy! Mike
