	Peter, it seems to me that release 2.0 BROKE many things
that worked in Beta. Whap!, the compuserve navigator, worked fine
under beta 2.0 on a 2500/20. Now it won't work on the A3000.
Perhaps it is the A3000 itself, maybe. There is also PenPal,
which the people at Softwood were very surprised to hear didn't
work anymore. It did work under their beta versions, though.
