Some time ago, I wrote a program called "notify" for use on ncoast (replacing an earlier program of the same name). Unfortunately, my boss discovered a copy of it while I was working on a pop-up "intercom" for MultiView... it is now the sending side, and I need to re-engineer the original buggy code on ncoast again to make a fully functional PD version. Sometimes I can almost understand RMS's ideology. (*Almost*. Unfortunately, there's more to the story than that, and it could be argued that I caused the problem.) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
