Oh *good*. I hope it filters its way into the Basilisk-II source code soon -
best bit of software we've got on the PCs at work (except GhostScript!).

And Basilisk-II is a good example of this - on my P133 at work it
outperforms ShapeShifter on my '030/25 by a good margin - hell, our '486/66
snaps at its heels - even running from hard-files!

All the best,
