This is true, however, there is only one problem. Yes, the site does
tell you software that users say DOES work, but no what does not work,
thus you may try to get a programworking that 6 users have also tried
and been unable to get running. I would also be sure to duplicate all
information on vorlon. If someone can give me the e-mail address of
whoever is maintaining the site at vorlon, the ideal solution would be
to use the messaging system idea there, this way there is only one
site, and a list of what does, and more importantly, what DOES NOT
work on one site.
