Save for two things...

I could not even touch the mail file or Norton AV would scream virus.
Since I could not tiuch it there was no clue as to the content (save for
virus laden).

The machine at no time ever was infected but because of how lookoutdistress
works you cant delete an element of the ISAM file that has the offending
mail
message and norton was trying to do that.

After a day of win98se installing the sound hardware(board level disabled!)
that
I dont want but not the second parallel port I do want w9x is still guano!
