(Y'know, it's amazing how helpful some Apple folks can be when they actually
have a good product to help us with...)

Thanks, Ron, but that raises a question: What's the second patch for? And, why
did you pick that particular spot for the set42sig()? I took a quick (3 min)
look at the source and put it in init.c, right after the end of the first
ifdef, before anything gets done. Seemed to work fine, too. Is there any
reason I should go back and change it?

BTW, about my complaint that Bnews was making bad headers: the solution is
simple. Go to Cnews. It's _wonderful_!!! Henry's claim that it's 25-30
times faster than Bnews is, if anything, conservative.

Thanks again,
