   au contrare'... the GIGO source code is available and has been ported... i   
   don't know how well the port works, though... i still use the original   
   binaries from jason on my OS/2 system...

   unfortunately the source code is not available from the ftp site linked in one   
   of the above articles... IIRC, our friend in Oz has a repo with the modified   
   code available... but, if not, i do have the original allsource.zip that jason   
   released back in '97 or '98... the archive is about 3Meg in size... one need   
   only ask ;)
