    I just applied some Windows 95 security patches, not all since
    three seem to depend on other updates that are not as far
    as I can see on the MicroSoft Windows 95 downloads web page
    so I have left them for now. But I will see if that helps at all
    in the next while (I know I had fewer security problems on my
    campus Linux Red Hat box with sysadmin support but I
    am now on a leave of absence from the Ph.D. from
    Sept. 1 to Dec. 31 and may or may not return to the
    program after that).

    Before I got the patches my Pegasus Mail seemed a bit
    hacked which inspired me to get the patches.

    Good night,
    David
