   I have been playing with D'Bridge a little. My Internet Rex has issues working   
   in my windows 10 VM.  Piss me off...   
      
   I'm trying to figure out what version of BinkD... there must be 7 or 8   
   different versions for windows alone... Pearl...   
      
   Anyway, would be nice if JoHo made some small changes to FD so that it would   
   dove tail into Bink a little better.  Kinda like what D'Bridge does... A 16bit   
   Mailer that has code added into it.  I know it might be more than that.... But   
   it can't be that bad
