    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
