   Hi Rene,   
           I'm doing cut&paste of capture buffers! CED 4.2 to the rescue...

   The last time I looked at a RS/6000 was at a local company connected to   
   ten SUN micro-servers!. It's not exactly a home computer! =:o Are you    
   still working at hospital?   
      
   Well, those couple of weeks are past. I haven't heard too much except that   
   the OS4 CD Install wasn't working right. Forget a January delivery. :-/   
   Something about the CD Install was the latest snag!

   Got to look at the YDL install.pdf. Refers to 'Disk Druid' for partition   
   setup! If your in RedHat that works, but what if in I'm in Debian? Cfdisk   
   is the part. tool for A1 linux.

   Tried to get Amirc 3.5 to run, wouldn't work. IBrowse2.3 runs fine! So,   
   what's the problem?    
      
   I've been going to Asha's Sunday Chat with KVirc. It's a nice IRC-client   
   with loads of features.
