    I down/led  Boulderdaesh to AIAB WinUAE. It wouldn't install with   
   the NGInstaller. Script problem probably. What else. =:o Someday,   
   I'll try one of the older installers.

    I have heard the Frieden's talking about it too much on 'A1ge devs'   
   list. Hans doesn't like my AOL. Fine, I don't like him using Mozilla   
   on A1. No one says how they set that up.:-\   
      
    I can't answer any these questions, Rene. They're all kind of stepped   
    to the future. I'll wait to OS4 shows up before making any judgment.   
    :)
