Please stay tuned for more details later this week. : -- Pete : -- : Pete Miles pmiles@dircon.co.uk : ...pipex!dircon!pmiles -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
