Hey, as long as it is just the directory/subdirectory name that is
essential, there are lots of other places I'd rather install bob386. :>
John mentioned on the page that his address is only in the packages now,
but I searched every one of them and failed to find an e-dress for him;
one SWAG e-dress I came up with failed the test ... I just wanted to
drop him a note to say that one of links isn't complete ... he forgot
the .EXE extension on the new LICQ file he has up there. If *you* know
his e-dress, I'm sure he'd appreciate you dropping him a line and
pointing that small omission out for him.
l.d.
