Wow! See, newbies aren't useless know-nothings! :-)
I should at this point issue a general reminder that there are risks in
using software whipped up by someone on a mailing list who you don't
know well, and that being submitted as a port doesn't mean it's been
checked and accepted. There have been people on this list in the past
who sounded very clever but were not worthy of trust, but I've put my
computer at the mercy of Adam's software many times without hesitation
or mishap, and I'm about to do it again.
Thanks!
