Hi,

    A couple of questions and an offer, any one of which may interest
you, so don't tune out if the first one doesn't.

    Any SCUBA divers out there coming to DECUS in Anaheim want to get
together for some diving, maybe a boat trip the weekend prior?

    I'm considering the possibility of writing something that will
allow a user who has a PC (or possibly an Amiga) to have multiple
processes logged in over the same dialup line. It will also hopefully
provide some error checking to handle phone line noise. Does such a
beast already exist? Any advice?

    An offer (yes, I can contribute useful items, too): I took someone's
old little program that checks disk fragmentation and redid it, adding
some stuff. It handles disk volume sets and tells you all about the
number and size of fragments on your disk. It does nothing about
correcting them; I'm still not sureI trust such things. It's completely
user-mode, needing only read access to the BITMAP.SYS file. It's a
little big to post, but should email fine. Write me if you want a copy.
