- I agree with you to a certain extent, but my point is that Voodoo would seem
- to be entirely reliant on the *newest* version of the Amigaguide library.
- AFAIK Voodoo is a _Mail_ reader, not an amigaguide.guide file display tool.

- Without being able to try Voodoo I can only speculate but it would sem that
- because of the primary use of Voodoo then the use of the AmigaGuide library
- (v40+) would be of secondary interest. Especially so given the recent
- discussions concerning the possibility of virus-type actions being carried out
- from within Amigaguide files _and_ the fact that it would seem that Voodoo was
- stated as not being _safe_ in these circumstances.
