I appreciate this but it is easier for me to finish checking out kermit on 
the older version before trying the newer version, since I have already 
put some of the needed files there and don't want to start over yet.
I bet some other users will also appreciate the mailto: capability.

Okay, after I finish checking out kermit with newer libncurses on the 
first version.

links-ssl won't display images for me.  Does it do so for you?  Maybe it 
was compiled without that capability to make it smaller.

Unless I can get microcom to work, I need kermit anyway and that requires 
ncurses, and lynx only needs 61K of libz (which is only for viewing 
gzipped help files which I don't read anyway, but it was ocmpiled not to 
run without  libz).

I will try the newer BL3 on the same computers that are giving me problems 
now and see if they are fixed.  I have space on d: (hda2).  This will make 
it much easier to transfer existing modified conf files etc. between 
versions.  I will start with mono VGA monitor plugged into the computer 
that did not have it plugged in before.  Maybe tomorrow.  First I want to 
try the later libncurses from SW50 with kermit and lynx from SW40.

Can't use BL3 to download the newer BL3, unfortunately.
