I just updated here, and see nothing odd.

The file I'm getting is DELETED0.TXT.  I delete it anyway.

Fair enough.

By the way, I replied to my Snow White message.  An autoresponder
replied in the next few minutes.  IF anyone wants to read the
message, I'll send it off list.

The next time I see that message, I'm going to make formal
complaints to my ISP and theirs.  In the meantime, has anyone
ever tried hanging a GPS antenna off the side of their boat to
see how deep it receives?
