I'm trying to write a little "getting started" tutorial (intended more 
for print, not web, I do NOT like html help ...) and was going to write 
up Cywin and SuSE. Sounds like this might fit in there well :-)

And can I make a plea for documentation to be available in dead-tree 
format... the manual is nice (I've got a printed copy) but so much only 
appears to be available "on screen" - which is all well and good until 
you want to actually read the stuff! I do a moderate amount of 
reading/working on my daily commute - when I have no computer access...

Cheers,
Wol

HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards. He felt it would not be a
good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
as Lies-to-People.
