Sorry, I have no record of his name. When I changed over to Win2K, I had 
to repartition my (brand new)  hard drive to get enough space for a 
useful installation.  I used Partition Commander which crashed midway 
through the process and then refused to recognise the empty space it had 
created as existing. I finally had to use some very crude tools to get 
the drive up and running again and then use Partition Magic to repair 
the damage.

All my old GEM-dev stuff disappeared with the other data, though I still 
had the apps I had on floppies.
