[Snowball] Too cool

[Adrian Flynn]

Hello everybody,
I went into the hospital just after my last message and am now out.
I hope to get Snowball One rolling again by the end of next week when I
have
had a chance to look through it.
Sorry it has been here so long but getting sick and having a blood sugar
reading off the charts was not part of my plans.
Will try to stay well enough to get it going again.
