- Slight correction. It's called XPK, version 2.3
- It will be free-ware at the end of the month and will be available from FTP.

- is. Guess I'll have to wait until the end of the month....
- This information is second hand... Perhaps it should become an FAQ, as I
- asked for such a program a while back too....
