	- hi pete; thanks for the heads up that [ex-demon.nl] xs4all
	has kept disview - and other demon dos software - available
	on-line; this's something of which i'd not previously been
	aware, nor even suspected might be.  good to see someone is :-)

	- i've taken a look at disvw619 and can see no sign that pap's
	been investigated further; the only files replaced/changed are:

=========================
"DISview" Release Numbers 
=========================
Each "DISview" file contains a release number (shown in square
brackets at the end of the first line of the file), which is in
"weekdate" format.

For example, all documentation files in the first "DISview"
release were numbered [518], which corresponds to 199[5], week 
[18]. 


=========================
"DISview" Release History
=========================

-------------
Release [619] -- May 1996. Third release
-------------
This is the first release of "DISview" to be incorporated 
within a complete DIS release (DIS216E). It replaces the very
old KA9QNOS.TXT documentation file. Otherwise, there are just
a few very minor cosmetic changes from DISview [601].

	--------------------------------------------------------------

	- the only people likely to've worked on using the DIS suite
	with PAP are those moving to (or adding) an isp that required
	(or at least offered) its use - possibly freeserve? - and who
	wanted to continue using the familiar and reliable software.
	(the only thing - well, the other only thing - i remember wrt
	freeserve was people needed to modify a file or two to allow
	for their not allocating fixed ip numbers to their customers,
	as well as a ka9q that did pop3 mail.)

	- sorry to be unable to offer any useful suggestion re the
	connexion problem with anchor du-24; when i was affected by
	what sounds like the same problem with warrington, it took me
	over four hours of phonecalls to the laughably-entitled "help"
	line, and eventually the use of a couple of expletives, before
	i was able to get anyone to actually consider that the symptoms
	i described in precise detail might perhaps possibly be a guide
	to the location and nature of a problem internal to demon, and
	not a problem with my dos set-up that could be cleared by my
	clicking on something or other.

	- i haven't phoned the "help" line since, and do not intend to.

	 - new year's greetings to all our readers;

	- love, ppint.
	[drop the "v", and change the "f" to a "g", to email or cc.]
