2.0.34pre14 has been running since 4 hours after it appeared on
your directory. I must say that it is running excellent for me
right now Alan.

The only thing a little messed up is the Filesystem

MSDOS filesystem options. Other than that though, everything
seems to work just fine!

Keep up the good work!
