That's strange, because ISTR you posting a "thank you for uploading
this".  The fact that they're not there probably accounts for the failure
to incorporate the numerous fixes for memory leaks that Niel made to
KA9Q/2 into the DOS version: I also STR his saying that these hade been
done in a fashion whereby they could readily have been absorbed into the
DOS source tree as well.  But of course Demon didn't make any real
changes to KA9Q until almost four years later :-(

That I *can* understand: so I must have been mistaken.

Incidentally, I presume that the presence of the WarpDIS .cmd (as
upgraded by {R}) files in the aforementioned part of the archive means
that these ARE supported?
