Joel,
This is a Mac group, but, if you want to get rid of this on your PC, do a
search for all files with the .SKA suffix and send them to the trash/recycle
bin. That will get rid of this.
The proprieters of this NG really don't like it when someone cross-posts
to several NG's. But, please post back with results when you can. Thank you.
