Ah now, yer see. I had not dared try the desktop, I had only tried the cli
and basic. Just tried the desktop and to my surprize it worked, I ran
splug and it unpacked and I now have a copy of !Sparkplug. Doesn't work
though, says it has no system resources.

It did after i tried the desktop, not with CLI & Basic.

I have got a zipped copy of the !boot for OS 4.39 in both adfs::4 and
hosfs but cannot unzip it ATM because I have no system resources for
sparkplug.
