    No.  Actually, I only put it up there because there was some difficulty in it being hosted elsewhere, as I understood it, probably because David had over-written it with the newer version.

   Is there a need for another website source of packages for BL2 and BL3 ?
If so, I can set it up OK.  But I think it is not a good idea to spread the add-ons too thin unless there is a problem with space at the existing sites. In that case, I should limit what I hold to those things without a home elsewhere.  There is no point in mirroring your website, Sindi, unless you have to clear stuff out.

    I have had a poor performance from console dosemu, with many of the characters being oddly mapped. 

    Xdosemu has performed well under X (I do not use vesa) for:
DOS Navigator   XTreeGold  Pedit   Pictview  Lxpic  Arachne(off-line)  MSP  PKZip/PKUnZip   Tutordo  MPEG.EXE
CDFE (my CD player)  my Chemical Data Package   all of my own stuff that I have tried.

    It has (so far) failed to run:
Professional Write    CDP   DOS Controller(this is a real disappointment for me)  QuickView   DSS   MPXPLAY

   I continue to try things.

Regards,
         Ron
