	- slight correction; this is the last _full_, y2k bug-fixed
	version of the self-extracting DOS 'net suite, (DIS221.EXE):
	it includes SNews, Simple News, which someone at demon/thus
	plc removed from the very last version on the late lamented
	ftp.demon.co.uk, as well as PCElm, the KA9Q-based NOS and
	the front end that ties them all together;

	- however, i've deleted sufficient length of file to make room
	for it:

	       http://www.i-m-t.demon.co.uk/dis/dis221.exe

	- i hope it proves of interest - even useful? - to someone...

	- eventually...

	- love, ppint.
