I'm not. I haven't got a compiler anywhere near my OS/2 system. I do use uudecode, and the unarchivers though. I have no gripes against source, but I don't want to have to find someone to compile it for me. Also, some people have suggested using COMP.BINARIES.IBM.PC. I don't mind that, however whoever suggested it obviously hasn't noticed that there is already a one month backlog there, and the moderator has quit because he doesn't have time to handle the stuff he already has. We can't really start adding things in that newsgroup if that newsgroup has no moderator. - Kevin Lowey @ 1:140/43 - LOWEY@SASK.USASK.CA - ...!alberta!dvinci!lowey
