I'm not sure.  I've had it for quite some time but I may have downloaded
it from Delphi.  It doesn't appear to be on the Trenco site and I can't
check my Time In A Bottle CDs at present to see if it is there.

I'd forgotten about that one.  I downloaded it but I guess I never got
around to installing it.  Mind you, I've been meaning to reinstall GS/OS
for a while and get my inits, DAs and such sorted out because I have a
lot installed and some enabled and some disabled.  I'm sure I can find
some more interesting patches and add ons from things like SoftDiskGS
and my other CD compilations.
