It's #1. Everybody has it under WinXP, the OpSys is causing it, which is why
Tame can overcome it (demonstrated!). Why waste your time? Eventually some
bright person is going to finally sit down, master (at last!) the intricacies
of the *.TAM file, and figure it out. Until then...

One can argue that everything is finally related to XyWrite: power, keyboard,
mouse, mail, etc. But we all know that's just a specious license to indulge
any topic. It's one thing if you have a web-based discussion with discrete
forums for General Conversation, Hardware, OT, etc. But this is a maillist:
everyone gets every post. And post after post, we're receiving pure baloney
(IMHO). Look at the last week: Zero. I'm tempted to quote extensively, and
ask whether, and why, ANYONE is interested ... but enough already. Carry on!
Wake me when you're done.
