Of course I tried to use it.  I used it a lot after I wrote it.  Yes,
it has some bugs that were fixed in more recent snapshots, but it also
doesn't have the mount changes that may confuse some users.  So, *if*
you have the win95 bug *and* you'd like to try fixing it, the Jan 15th
snapshot is the one to go with.  Other people with other problems may
need other snapshots.
