Good to know Marek is ok. Hope he's doing well.

And I don't mean to hijack the thread but I hope Cybe R. Wizard is still

just seemed to vanish too.

I mean... I get not wanting to be on Usenet anymore, but not using
Linux? No excuse for that. And Windows now! Only adds insult to injury. :-)

I haven't seen the Wiz in a long time anymore either, or for that
matter, Wildman, who rewrote one of Marek's scripts in Python, I think.

I was thinking about all of this just the other day.
