Michele,

I think you could add this sliced Arvid explanation to netscape-mini-howto or change instructions on how to unpack SVGA.tgz. It took me (a good old newbie) a lot of time to find the right path.

I'm still looking for a beautifull postcard to send you.
You must wait only a time t, in months, where t= 1/x where x is the number or postcards you received last month.
