Someone should write a little program that converts the Toolsdaemon
prefs file into an OS3.9 arexx script.

Or integrate a menu prefs into the OS?

Is there a new version of ViNCEd ?

Last time I used it it was horrible (sometime last year), I just
couldn't stand the thing, it was so clumsy to use.

It's a shame KingCON has a display problem when using small fonts as
it is rather good :)

FBlit is a must if you don't have a gfx card, you don't really need to
fiddle much with the prefs to notice a difference :)

See ya :)
