I too have been trying to loacte the author, mail sent to the address in 
the docs bounces back...

The problems you mentioned don't bother me at all, and since it bounced 
I'll post my letter here... It is "To the author" but any replies would 
be appreciated.

Hi... I wan't to thank you for the wonderful job you did on 2QWK!... It has 
already saved me a fortune on my phone bill.  I have a couple of questions for 
you.  Number one, I couldn't find a ShareWare, FreeWare, or Public Domain 
notice... Which is it?  Second,  I was using 1.11 (I think that was the number) 
but i couldn't get NameFix to work.  I ended up deleting it because it's a pain 
without the .NDX files.  Well, I saw the update on Grind, I downloaded it, I 
got NameFix to work, and it woks great.  The only problem is; is that the 
update dosen't have an ANSI driver.  Do you have a driver that you could mail 
me or did you re-write it without ANSI capability?

Any information will be appreciated...
