I just checked and it is still in /incoming. The filename is Changi09.Zip. Again, if you like it, don't forget to send a postcard to the author. ;) -- Alexander Que +==================================================================+ | EMail: alexque@ibm.net BBS: (852)2578-6214 Fax: (852)2578-6214 | | The Realm of ChaOS/2 - an OS/2 support BBS...
