[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi--

Thank you for this very kind offer.  I think we'll accept,
 but right now we're in a rush to get to Finland.

The problem is that no one here has the time to study the
 problem.

The developers won't touch Windows.  I use it, but between
 all my crashes for other reasons and the other work I have to 
 get out, I don't have time to make a deep study.

I wish we could delegate somebody.  But hey, if you're on
 the zzdev list, why not have someone at Micrsoft try to
 make Gzigzag work under Windows ?-)

Best, Ted N.
