I'm a weenie for posting that on-list - that was meant to be a private 
email...

In the interests of making nice, and keeping together the great fd-dev 
community we have here, I'll publicly apologize: I shouldn't have said 
that on a mailing list.  I'm back from a rather frustrating, non-restful 
vacation.  And my inbox was filled with lots of *long* emails from Eric 
(both on list and off) and I spouted.

So, sorry to Eric.  Oops.

That said, I'm still interested in hearing from Tom about the most 
recent Himem, and what can/should be posted on FreeDOS.org.
