I am indeed running WinXP SP2 Plus all patches. (I'm giving SP3 some time to
mature... %-) LoD v1.09d, Gemstone 1.5 and PlugY 7.01b on two separate
systems. If you'd like, I can send you the splash screen to prove it. ;-) The
PlugY text overwrites the Gemstone version label a bit. PlugY should not step
on your D2 install because it overwrites nothing. I don't recall any
installation gotchas, but this was a few years ago... Hmmm. Wait a minute. I
just did this again when I got my crap-top, and it went quite smoothly there 
too.

Also, PlugY won't run if you don't launch the plugy.exe instead of Diablo
II.exe, so there should be no real possibility of this screwing things up,
barring PEBKAC issues and random acts of God^H^H^HMicrosoft. Having said that,
if you run into trouble, I'd be happy to try to assist you, but I'm generally
only reading news in the middle of your night, since I'm in NY, USA and reading
USENET from work.
