Well, so one can find it at the Simtel-20 (we all know what that
place is, don't we? - at least those with long experience on this
networking activity should know..) and it has gone thru their
checks, thus propably it isn't entirely a hoax.

    Still I wonder why it has been written by using Borland graphics
interface tools, and not with proper Windows things, as one gets the
feeling it has been meant to be used...  Wierd in deed.
