   Hi! Ed,   
      
   On Sun, 08 Nov 15, you wrote to me:   
      
    EV> I was looking through some old .ZIP files I downloaded a long time   
    EV> ago, and thought about You when I saw OZPACK13.ZIP that had Programs

   Thanks for the kind thought, Ed.   
      
    EV> Around here the tree leaves have started to fall to the ground.   
      
   Ooh, yes.  I've seen nice footage over the years of your neck of the woods, at   
   various times during autumn or spring.  Beautiful country 'over there'.   
      
    EV> Are the trees where You live getting any leaves on them?   
      
   Totally different here, Ed.  All (or most) of the 'natives' don't know   
   seasons. They're always green, sometimes less so in winter or dry spells and   
   sometimes more green during 'the wet' or summertime.  The mango tree and the   
   macadamia tree (one of each in the backyard) are good examples of the types   
   that aren't really seasonal.  Our row of frangipanis drop all their leaves   
   during the cold, though they do tend to hang on to a couple even then.    
   They're coming into full bloom now with sweet-looking (and smelling) pink &   
   yellow flowers.   
      
   Not a lot going on here, Ed.  I'm two months into coming to grips with a new   
   HP 'hotbox' doo-hickey running Win 8.1, which is slowly becoming annoying in   
   multi-dimensions.  It may not see the year out, as I've figured out what HP   
   did to the BIOS to stop folks from running other operating systems.  :)   
      
   All the best, mate.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
