It seems I may not have much time in the near future; my ISDN line to my
home is dead, and as I'm not there mon-fri I don't know whether there's
just a telco problem, or whether I have more damage at home (apparently
a heavy thunderstorm passed over Monday night). I'm going home this
evening to check things out. Otherwise I would have done it tonight.

Any suggestions on what I could concentrate on? Anything that won't
build due to non-portable programming that I could tackle?
