   software update is available. This saves you the time and effort of
   regularly checking our BBS or FTP sites for new files.

   To subscribe to the HIS mailing list, send e-mail to:

                listserv@hercules.com

   With this line in the body of the message (not on the subject line):

   dynamite     for the Dynamite, Dynamite Pro and Dynamite Power
