I have an external 56K modem, but half the time it connects at 28.8K to 
the local college where we have internet access.

A question - Matrix Mole says I can save my changes to a DOS 8.3 file, but 
I recall now why I have not been doing that.  I do have a collection of 
changes I made to BL2 (things I did to config. files etc) which I package 
with makepkg.  What is the BL3 equivalent of makepkg?  I thought we only 
had pkg, the equivalent of installpkg.  Is there something I should be 
installing from my SW3.2 CD?  Should I be using BL2 to makepkg the BL3 
changes?

I made myself a little lynx package for BL3, with dependencies, as .tgz 
which unpackages to a bunch of files in the same directory, with 
instructions where to put things.  This is not efficient.
