   Sounds great!  I'll definitely take a look for it.

   Actually, the problem is a little different than I'd originally
thought.  Pine is actually looking for a TCP/IP stack, and is actually
looking for Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS (or one of five others).
Hmmm...  thanks for your information, it might be very useful.  I'll have
to keep reading, thoug.
