Sorry Jiri, it's not that easy.
Not even MTS or EW have made it onto my ignore list.

Your tables update, plus some other user contributions
are on the RDS site now.

Done.
If you make a new improved version,
I hope you'll post it.

By the way, no one has ever been forcibly 
unsubscribed from this list. If you stop receiving messages
it could be that your ISP is blocking Topica.
Topica pumps out a humungous amount of e-mail
every day, and they've offended quite a few ISP's
and gotten onto some spam black lists.

I get a daily report on the addresses on this list 
that are bouncing, plus an indication of the 
reason that they are bouncing. I've asked Topica
to make this information directly available on the Web 
to the subscribers, and they seem willing to consider this
provided there are no implementation problems.

While I'm on the Topica topic 
I should mention that Topica will be going down
Wednesday September 11, from 4am PST to 5pm PST
(7am Eastern to 8pm Eastern). They say it's because of
the September 11 anniversary, but they're also going to do
some maintenance. I also heard that they're afraid
that a lot of "insensitive remarks" will be broadcast through their
system on that day, possibly getting them in more trouble with ISP's.

I understand Kat your disappointment in this.

Tonight, at least, I feel if you have given someone a present, you cannot just take it back, however much you might want to.

I don't want to get into any argument with you Kat, I didn't write the software, by your own admittance you didn't write all of it either, I may be wrong here, please just consider what I am saying.

Sorry, Pete, Ricardo, at al, those opening remarks in my euphoria homepage are
no longer completely true. I have been playing with several distributions for
about three years, and currently have Mandrake 8.1 installed on two newest
machines. Just like you, Pete, I have been promising myself to go mainly Linux,
and only part-time window$, for some time now. But, unfortunately, I do not seem
to be able to keep my promises. Firstly, the whole family, including
grandchildren, have access to my machines (they always want the latest, the most
powerful for their games!) and Linux frightens the hell out of them (and my
wife!), and secondly I must admit, shamefully, I have never installed Linux
version of Euphoria properly - so I have no real incentive to struggle
excessively with this new environment...

let you boot into DOS Mode from ME w/o using a boot floppy. One of them
is
a hybrid solution (a minimal set of Win 98 files are used for the boot
to
DOS Mode) while the other attempts to use patches to allow REAL DOS
MODE
IN ME (patches a bunch of system files so that DOS Mode is no longer
hidden
by the system files).
