important, need to get software synth running

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209]

What fun, not!  When Janina mentioned the traditionally bad spelling of 
Apollo in Speakup, I remembered that Kirk had just fixed that in the last 
few days.  So, I thought I'd check to see how it was spelled in the RPMS.  
It isn't spelled either way because it isn't there!  Sorry, Krister and 
Darragh.  I'll investigate and get back to the list.
