File specs?

[Fairlight]

When hell freezes over, Smitty.  Bill Campbell runs the list, not the
community.  We're -all- here at his sufferance, nobody else's.  And I
happen to know Bill holds a staunch anti-censorship stance.  So...luck with
that.

It's fine, really.  Ken wanted to be cute and waste my time; I can deal
with that.  I simply went and asked someone who knows the product, instead.
