   Well, I found out today how it feels to be a day-or-two older... I'm slowing   
   down.  I replaced the test system's OS: it's now Puppy 4.12-based.   
      
   It's essentially the same as the old Xubuntu thing: exactly the same vBox   
   settings; same virtual HDD; same messagebase; and, the same config files   
   everywhere.  The HDD was wiped by Gparted & re-formatted prior to the OS   
   install.  Everything was restored from this morning's backup .tar file, after   
   the last toss.  Only the binaries for GoldEd, JamNNTPd & BinkD have been   
   changed (the last two specifically compiled for Puppy 4.12).   
      
   What should have been a quick one hour changeover was interferred with by   
   having a life (still!).  The only other real glitch was wasting an hour   
   attempting to get around a libstdc++.so.6/GLIBCXX problem with GoldEd, till I   
   clued-in to using the old 1.1.4.7 executables instead.   
      
   If you go to that weblink again and view the two new additions for the Puppy   
   system, you may note some interesting differences.  The screenshot of GoldEd's   
   display re-enforces the notion that the messagebase is unharmed (and therefore   
   CrashMail is working correctly), and that the new JamNNTPd sees some sort of   
   errors created by the old binary but is now performing as it should, and,   
   correctly.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
