Hi Ray!
I'd like to send the sources to all my stuff...but there's a
problem. Some of you might remember I had all my
stuff on an old 486DX4 100mHz user built computer.
Well, I had an unwanted visitor back at the first of this
year, a real winner! He proceeded to tear into my PCs,
the one running as well as those I was working on.
One of the victims was my 486DX4...it is still in pieces.
I know, I should have kept backups, but things happened
too fast. Ever have a 32 year old with the IQ of a 5 yr old?
Anyway, I've found most of the parts to the 486DX4, man
was I one aggravated wizard! He even took the entire
motherboard out. When I asked him "Why??? What were
you possibly looking for?" All I received was a blank
stare. He wiped out my extra hard drive with the backups
on it in a vain attempt to install Windows 95B on it. He
then went after this one, my main machine, a Pentium 166
w/MMX, 96 meg RAM, and wanted to install New Deal
Geos on it, which he had gotten from some abandoneware
site! He waited til I fell asleep, tried to install it, and I'll be
darned if it didn't over-write my boot files...you guessed,
this one wouldn't boot anymore. That's when I told him
he would have to go! Last I heard he had left the apartment
I helped him procure in my town and headed for Florida.
An experience I'll never forget, and never relive! We could
probably do something with the source code for LSPPP,
since D Lindaur has made it available. Joe daSilva has
made a configuration tool for LSPPP, I'm thinking it will even
work with WZPPP since I based it on David's LSPPP. The
2 are fairly interchangeable.
C U L8R!
