Hi! mark,

In a message to All you wrote:

Cool.

Perhaps the first ortta be where/how to register it these days?  :)

One on a recommended method of maintaining message areas...

  FEUTIL purge -delete
  FEUTIL pack -overwrite -delete
  FEUTIL link

have served me well for nigh on 8 years.

Another on using FE with Squish areas?  (You can reference my own methods
of tossing & maintenance, at:

  http://home.austarnet.com.au/quinn261/DOS_bats.html

if you want.  [I'll let you know if the URL changes.])

The last one maybe on using an old FE 1.45 setup.exe to re-/enable use of
DOS environment variables in paths, since the FE 1.46 one will not allow
entering the '[' or ']' chars.  (Caveat: only the default primary netmail
path refused to 'take', here.)

Cheers,
Paul.
