   For the guest Windows system.  The stock Win98se driver would only give   
   640x480 resolution, maximum.  On my two Win98se systems, each was using a   
   different SVGA driver providing 1024x768.  Much, much better (I have screen   
   capture videos showing such).   
      
   The wildcat 'beta' type on the Fido vBox got rejected in a recent vBox update,   
   and turned into a roiling blackhole from which nothing radiated... not even   
   light.  The other didn't have trouble and still runs great, but I found   
   through early experimentation that it neither will run DOS programs in a   
   window nor full-screen.

   Yes, I figure a userbase of two.  My test system has just passed the 12 month   
   mark, and continues... a Frankenstein-ian entity.

   Yes.  Tell me about your gaming.  Are you doing any ARMA 3?  (I'm seriously   
   following the ShackTac boys.)  And, am liking the Star Citizen stuff   
   (especially the 'Con' demo vids).

   Yes, I'm looking forward to being able to have another server for Björn to   
   advertise.  That's something else that FMail failed at.

   I had some bad luck with the Husky stuff in its _early_ days and I've   
   developed a cringe attitude to HPT.  I eventually got the nodelist and   
   diff-handling working but had real strife with its TIC & echomail but even   
   then it required that I invest in some DOS voodoo to settle the beast.  :)
