Hi Steve, you did remove the drivers.  They do not appear in the above
list.  What I wrote is based on memory from many years ago when that
archive was on ground.  I do not know if the said archive is still on caltech.

Joe Kohn sent an email explaining to me that the said drivers were NOT
released by Burger Bill but are beta leaks, complete with a forged
Burger Bill text file directing users to the upcoming Vitesse release of
Harmonie.

This SUCKS!  I did NOT want to be drawn into this conflict.  I thought
that text file was actually written by Burger Bill and thought I would
help by posting what I remember.

Everyone, please exclude me from the conflict.  I'm just an innocent
bystandard who thought the drivers were something they were not
based on a forged text file that I thought came from Burger Bill.

My apologies to Joe and Steve.
