Interesting. The kind of humor pee wee and austin powers use makes me
wonder why some people think that kind of humor is funny. Anyway, the 
late news (local) had a segment on new titles for the powers movie

Back to WordPerfect 8. What I am going to do is run FreeBSD DocBook
thru

disk
at my ISP (BSDI) to run the SGML package.
