   In aviation news there's a potential strike on Dec 21 impacting Air NZ   
   customers.. that keeps me 'on topic'   
      
   In other news.  I contacted the FastEcho author asking if it were possible   
   to make a change to the hard coded zone-gate feature? He kindly replied but   
   indicated it would be highly unlikely :(

   Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately I currently have no means to compile   
   new versions ... I have a backup of the source code somewhere, but I don't   
   have the old compilers any more and I don't think that this old source code   
   would happily compile using modern systems ... so it's highly unlikely that I   
   would be able to bring out new versions, sorry!

   So I am planning now to move to another tosser. It won't happen quickly but I   
   will try to get this done over the upcoming holiday period. I'm juggling   
   work, family and about 3-4 BBS related projects I'm trying to get across the   
   line. But we'll get there ;)   
      
   Best, Paul
