As far as 2.0, we are currently running 2.0 gamma that someone was kind enough to send me from his site. As far a Dave Taylor, last I heard he was not going to be able to put the time into elm as je had in the past, as was looking for help. ============================================================================ Brian O'Neill, MS-DOS Software Exchange Coordinator ArpaNet: boneill@hawk.ulowell.edu UUCP : {(backbones),harvard,rutgers,et. al.}!ulowell!hawk!boneill
