Buon Geronimo Leonid,

maybe you could download Chest from the net somewhere and try that? I know, it
isn't as much fun as using your own program ... but Heiner seems to be on a
vacation. :) It's a difficult problem to solve, this last one!

Well, I'm off to install some more of my software, all hardware is responding ok
now (I think), even my network is up and running again ... reboot, reboot!!

Dobre Djen ...
