    Just noticed this in the connection negotiation. 26. A sends B the constant 16 byte signature ("MUGWHUMPJISMSYN2") Is this a subtle reference to the fact that this program provides secure communication (Mugwhump Jism)? Do I need to use a Clark Nova to write the reports on? Are NullSoft out sourcing there development work to Interzone? Me I`m just off to do the old William Tell Routine. Sorry for the abstraction in this post I've just given up smoking. Having tried the will power method, and patches. I'm using Bug powder dust.
