Well, a local here in AZ just got his disk in the mail yesterday from
Gracilis, zip'd the contents of the disk, and sent it to me.  I have
since ftp'd the archive to thumper.bellcore.com and put it in the
"incoming" directory under the filename "gracilis.zip":

-rw-rw-rw-  1  61       61         261950 May 16 22:58 gracilis.zip

I haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet, but I did notice
that each time I exited the program, and then tried to execute a DOS
command, the PC would go out to lunch.  Looks like maybe they forgot
to remove all their "hooks" before exiting.  Nothing the "three-finger
salute" won't fix.  Can't wait til they come out with a version that
has the SCC driver (can't use my PC-100 card).
