     Waste of time. Practically any request you might make is going to offend
'the usual suspects' as "piracy".

     From time to time notices about PROM availability on this site have been
out-of-date. Checking with SHH via email _may_ have gotten you a v1.8 PROM.

     If you let a bit of rancor keep you from asking questions and making
requests, you're pretty much a dead dog anywhere on the net.

     Ask what you please. The sane, sensible readers of this newsgroup will
try to help. You can just ignore the nitwits and bullies-- or, if you feel
like it, give them an occasional kick in the butt.

     Glad you found a v1.8 PROM. Be sure to post something about how the
upgrade works out.
