subject: Did I get them all?

Hi, Paul.

PE> FM> Within a 0000ffe8.ddn will be a number of PKts. I don't know what the
PE> FM> criteria for creating PKTs is, but for example in the .TU0 I just
PE> FM> received there are 11, of which 6 contain AvTech messages. The first
PE> FM> message in the last one (PKT date 7/1 {at} 11:29pm) is dated 3/1, there
PE> are
PE> FM> messages in the others dated eg 6/1 (PKTs dated 7/1, various times
PE> FM> starting at 8:45am). Those PKts will be processed sequentially by
PE> FM> PKTJOIN (yours or mine, I use mine) and PKT2QWK and thus I will have a
PE> FM> 3/1 message in my QWK after some 6/1 messages.

PE> FM> They *might* be in chron order as you receive them, I have no way of
PE> FM> knowing that.

PE> Yeah, they're in chron order as I received them.  Check out the dates on th
PE> PKTs.  As suggested by Keith, Paul Markham's program will do the rest.

Got it thanks, but it won't sort on anything but subject without
recompiling. And I don't have a C++ compiler I think. Whatever happened
to command-line switches?

Regards, fIM.
