I regret to say that I took a few hours the other night to try and get the
new BL3 working on my old laptop but failed. It is not a problem with
BL3: it seems nothing wants to boot from the first HD partition. Freedos
wasn't working there previously, and I thought using M$DOS in its place
would fix the problem. But it didn't. I'll have to run some HD
diagnostic utility on it, whenever I can next find some time for that. I
did go ahead and boot it on another desktop machine I had, just so that
attempt wouldn't be a total failure. It's a really interesting little
program you've included there, Steven. Have you used it for some
presentations (recall you saying how you used Arachne and some html files
in the past as a power point stand-in)? Are the pages this one uses html
too? Hope I can get back to some BL testing soon. Btw, my PCMCIA card
for that laptop uses the module you've included.

James
