Sorry for the delay in my reply. This is the first we've had our
newsfeed this weekend. Understood about the fonts.

I hadn't known about this and now will look forward to it.

Thanks for this info.
It may be of interest to those with Com problems that a couple of days
ago I installed Kermit 3.16 Beta. Despite the fact that there is no
mention of it coping any better than 3.14 or 3.15 with Win 9x modem
caused Com problems, it made the difference, and I am able to run it
from a DOS box without, so far, any problems. Curious.
Thanks for you quick reply, Frank. If there was a Nobel price for
dedication to a user community, you would win it hands down!
