Thanks - I'll try to get them online soon.

Excellent!

Good.

It's been a while - about 100,000 emails ago probably!  Can you remind
me of the symptoms?

OK.

OK - can we put your UNIX-to-MAC path convertor into PLIB/UTIL somewhere?
We really need UNIX-to-Windoze, Windoze-to-UNIX, Windoze-to-Mac and Mac-to-Windoze
convertors too.  I've been putting off doing those for a while because there
was nowhere sensible in PLIB to put them...but now that Dave is off creating
things like directory searching inside the 'UL' space, we should start to address
the thorny issues of file/path names and (ugh) file line-termination in a portable
manner.

Great!   It's always good to hear from MacOS people.

Now, where did the BeOS dudes vanish to?
