My apologies.  I know that I have not been answering my E-Mail.  The 
problem is with the BBS in my area that carries these subs.  I am 
not getting good downloads and even worse uploads.  This is really 
bad since I normally work from the QWK packets.  So it is not that I 
am being a turkey or ignoring.  I simply don't have a good 
electronic link into these subs.
