RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 79


Hallo Harold,

You're sure that's a firewall you are behind?  I, eg., can't even get
setup.exe, because it is ".exe".  As I said, I am very lucky the ".bz2"
passes unnoticed (as long as < 2Mb).

You wouldn't care to wrap setup.exe into a .bz2 and mail it to me?  I could
still give it a try.

Never mind, you'll still be asleep when I'm having my lunch at home, I'll
get it there.

Nice dreams,

Gerard
