   Better safe than sorry, download either Pedt Scragg's or my own improved   
   CRT unit from garbo (URLs are in the mini-FAQ) and not only will you be   
   released of RTE 200, but you will also get a slightly more   
   smarlink-friendly unit. FWIW, Pedt's unit runs on every CPU, mine   
   requires at least a 386.
