- Let me calm down a moment after dealing with the sarcasm of Ken's
- letter so that I can be nice again... :)

- Okay, much better. Memory Protection is currently a problem for the
- AV-Protocol. You need to use Mxalloc() to allocate space for the
- string you want to send, copy the string to the new (unprotected)
- memory, and then pass that address. It is a little round-about,
- but what can you do? Alternatively, you could set your program
- to global-readable in the PRGFLAGS, but this is not as good because
- then you are not protected by the memory protection.
