- Then I would rebuild my system from the source disks + backups
- of current data. However, your point is well taken, if you don't

- Also, does anyone know when Reme (sp?) plans to make a public
- release of the bitmap system. (not pressing - I can live with
- big filenames in a slow system - just curious).
