I too have noticed this. When I have a DOS window open, and get such an error
message, the window pops to full screen mode. Not sure why... I then use alt-
enter to restore it.

ITS HERE!! I just uploaded it to cica... It is in the pub/pc/win3/uploads
directory (mazespx.zip). Look for it to be moved to the util directory as soon
as the administrator checks it out. I have also submitted it to c.b.i.p, but
the latency there runs as much as 4 weeks. It you don't have ftp access, e-mail
me and I will mail it back. If there is a lot of interest, and no one objects,
I could post it here, it isn't big, only about 6500 bytes uuencoded zip file,
but I don't want to offend anyone. Please let me know if I shouldn't post here.
