Since it was free or cheap *and* really just nagware, it is amazing any

I think I might have thrown the things back in the day. Or, perhaps, the 
lack of use was the reason they did survive.

When I get a chance, I will make a transfer and post the results. I have 
a few records I need to get done anyways.
