My apologies. See, I've never seen anything on this. The NT archives that I've
found over time only have the program and the docs. I've never saw a "readme"
file that confirms this. However, the new version I grabbed off of ground does,
so both of us can rest easier.

I have done so. They're all there, pat and perfect. Again, I apologize for
bringing you to grief. I've had a number of my creations (programs, artwork and
music alike) "appropriated" over the years I've had my GS, and it strikes a
dissonant chord with me when I see someone mention that someone else is doing
this. Go ahead and keep them there, I don't mind. Besides, I think it's only
one or two things of mine in there, and nothing major at that.

So let's shake hands like gentlemen, bury the hatchet, and I'll try not to fly
off the handle at you again. :-)

See, guys? I can be a nice guy and admit when I'm wrong every now and then! So
I don't wanna hear anything at the Java House tonight about this. :-P
