1. I can confirm that nite seems to have problems on monochrome, on my 1040 it does not blank the screen, but it does lock the ST. 2. Someone confirmed having "short file" problems in decoding dash. There was a suggestion to me that the line before the end was removed: not so. I also have the same problem with disasmbl. Could someone repost, or post them directly to me please. 3. Moshe Braner's autodisk does not work with my ramdisk (surprise, surprise). His doc mentions ramdisk.prg, which I thought was a generic name for any ramdisk program. Was it a particular one? eternal? (never did get that going, but maybe it was my fault). 4. The British ST User magazine offers a modulator for about 50 pounds sterling, to either TV or composite video. Don't ask me (yet) whether it works. If it does then I might have to pinch my son's C64 monitor! 5. I am using a 520ST with Ethernet interface and telnet software. Great fun having multiple window sessions. 6. Those having problems dearcing some software might note that net.sources (comp.sources.unix here) has the arc source. I am having a few problems compiling it with Megamax, but hope that it will work when I do. If it does, and solves the problems should I post it?

I can confirm that nite *does* work on a 520ST with a monochrome monitor. There is no system lock-up, the screen bounces back to life quite nicely when I press any key or move the mouse. I have not had a chance to test out the killer half of nite yet, as I am trying to split my time between distributing 7 some odd Meg of software from the net and skiing. 2. I have also had the same problems with dash and disasmbl. Of the three different versions of uudecode that I use, none would give me a working or un-arcable version. It could be that very little of the net got these files in working order (since it would appear that very little of our respective net paths coincide).
