[Peter Dambier]

Hi Scott,

welcome to the list.

It is mostly old dynosaurs here hwo know each other from other
lists if not from the rodeo.

C and assembler are my native languages, prologue when I try to
talk to the upper class :)

I am one of the operators who keep the Cesidian Root together.

Cheers
Peter
