Hi,

Sorry, I haven't checked email for a while. Putting this into an
external readme file might still leave some people complaining,
but if you wish I could do that either.
The last version was more or less a cut and paste from Larry, this one is 
a little edited...

Regards,
Thunder

+    not open source.  If you feel  strongly about 100% free software

+    BitKeeper to do  kernel development,  people may choose whatever
