I have been playing with D'Bridge a little. My Internet Rex has issues working 
in my windows 10 VM.  Piss me off...

I'm trying to figure out what version of BinkD... there must be 7 or 8 
different versions for windows alone... Pearl...

Anyway, would be nice if JoHo made some small changes to FD so that it would 
dove tail into Bink a little better.  Kinda like what D'Bridge does... A 16bit 
Mailer that has code added into it.  I know it might be more than that.... But 
it can't be that bad
