Richard Covert asks: >Also, is there anyway to get linked to GEnie's files?? I d/l quite a bit of >GEnie files and it gets expensive!! Forget it, Richard... the people who run GEnie are motivated by one thing, and one thing only, and it begins with a capital $$ They are no more likely to allow you access to their files (which account for 60-75% of their revenue) for free, than they are likely to subscribe to any minimal code of ethics... Letting you read <giggle> and <tee hee> messages won't cost them anything, and might even be written off as advertising for their real product, which is the download libraries. BobR
