I'm sorry I can't be there. I wanted to meet you, but I can't get to
Germany this week. Will you ever be visiting Holland?

I don't think it was a printed name on a comic, but just a photocopy of a
single issue where Barks had written the text.

Are you sarcastic? My programs were (and are) developped on an MSDOS-PC. But
they are in C, and should be able to compile on a Unix-machine as well.

Ole about Matena's Vikings ("Grote Pyr"):
>  So "The Iron Lady" is drawn 10 years later again?

Yes it's drawn more than 10 years later (I read somewhere else that the first
3 stories were originally from 1973-1974). I don't understand the word 'again'
in your question.

> Is it BTW political?
I have never read any of the Grote Pyr stories. But I don't think Thatcher
is involved...

Please keep us informed whether this is the same (redrawn and/or censored)
version as published in the Carl Barks Library.
