  "I have serious doubts about the 'EASY' installation-definition.
  It might prevent customers to think that they actually bought

  to be 'HARD'.

  "Dear Sir,
   Since we have found that this last piece of code within the 'if'
   -statement will never execute, we descided NOT to include it in 
   the final code.  This way we will save at least another 5 megabytes
   of consumer-diskspace!

        Thank you for listening to us, 
           the executive managers of the Chicago(tm)-project"
