Below is the latest (translated) mail I received from FIBBS's Quoteweb
on their MSQuote program.
"MSQuote still has a bug in the program, as it does not run on the latest
Win95 and Win98 versions. I will fix that. We do have great plans with
the program. This is only a small "limited in usage"-Test version to see
if there is a need for it. Lots of foreign data is available on the internet in
that manner."
