There isn't a lot in this issue...outside my window, it's raining during a storm that wasn't supposed to be here until this coming Wednesday. Another El Nino artifact, I presume, modified by the arrival this early morning of a Harrier jump jet for a series of training exercises at the local National Guard air base.

For those of you who have never experienced a Harrier landing, be prepared to dive for cover, as the noise generated is not unlike a large airliner crashing into your living room...for about five minutes.

One thing came to mind this visit, however...how is this plane to "quietly" attack its targets? Or does it's strike speed make up for it's lack of 'stealth'?

There's a message in there...just think it over a bit.

As things go, Zone 2 seems to have modified its "position", in that Ward Dossche is no longer making noises of separating Zone 2 from the rest of FidoNet...but then, he still doesn't want to allow any sort of dissenting opinion to be posted along with his own messages.

To that end, a new echo called ZCC-DISCUSSIONS looks like it is being formed to route around Ward's censorship. You might inquire about the availability of the echo if you are interested in Zone and International matters.

And, for the last time, I ask if anyone out there has a compiler for Lattice C code, or a "translation" scheme to move the Lattice C code to something a bit more 'useful' or 'relevant' to modern C or C++ compiles...please contact me at one of the addresses below.
