- Well, so one can find it at the Simtel-20 (we all know what that
- place is, don't we? - at least those with long experience on this
- networking activity should know..) and it has gone thru their
- checks, thus propably it isn't entirely a hoax.
-
- Still I wonder why it has been written by using Borland graphics
- interface tools, and not with proper Windows things, as one gets the
- feeling it has been meant to be used... Wierd in deed.
