Beautiful explanation, George. I only hope to God that Craig appreciates it
as much as I do. Like Craig, I too had absolutely no comprehension of what a
binary newsgroup is . . . . but, damn my arse, I do now! If you don't mind,
George, I'm going to copy 'n' paste that explanation into a textfile and
save it so that I can someday help others in the same boat, so to speak.
Don't worry - I'll give you full credit, and I hope it goes a long way to
healing the rift that those awful WinMX problems have recently engendered
between us. Let it not be said, George, that I'm too proud to give credit
where it's due, and all that. Cheers, George!
