He's Danish and a former Fido sysop named       Kaare Olsen (name has been "Englished"). Let me talk to him; he has an       account on my BBS as he also ran Maximus/2 in the day and see if he could post       in here to help you out.              As for being off-topic, I know the moderator and don't think he minds. |
