Cool.  I'm downloading the disk right now to do the ftp install in a few
days (hopefully).  I'm really looking forward to trying it out.  I just
hope Novel doesn't change a lot of policies there.

Thanks, but I've been around for awhile.  Mostly just reading from time
to time to keep up with things.  I'm so in and out of filePro
programming, I get rusty, and then feel like I just started programming
again compared to a bunch of you guys.  I remember (although he probably
doesn't) when Brian (I believe this is the correct Brian) called me at a
former employer of mine to ask about installation because he didn't know
anything about filePro, and now I feel like a newbord baby compared to
what he manages to come up with on this list.  I remember the good old
days when I actually had time to sit and learn something, not just hack
at it from time to time. :)
