First, my changes documentation are slim.  It is currently contained in
that little 386-WIN.TXT file.

I hate to say WHOA after I started much of the excitement but I need to
try and keep things in focus.  Since I have never been part of a project
and contributed back in real time this is getting past my comprehention.

We have three main codesets coming:

Lynx2.7 + FM fixes + Wayne's mods
Lynx2.7 + FM fixes + Klaus's mods + Hiram's mods
Lynx2.7 + Rob's mods + Hiram's mods + FM fixes (?)

I am thinking that maybe I should pull back since my code is easy to
integrate into other peoples.  Will it be easier to merge all this code if
they all have the FM bugfixes or does that make it harder (and why/how)? 
I put out executable versions with bugfixes, but this doesn't mean I have
to keep going in that direction.  I still have a snapshot without the
fixes.  

I am just getting nervous because of the size of the mods from Klaus and
Rob.  Maybe they feel like I do in that they can overlay their stuff over
anything because they know it well...
