I was bloody tired, and I wasn't going to be jacked around
by not being able to use Turbo Debugger, so I figured that
Watcom could stick it where it fits.  Of course, I don't
suspect the compiler to be at fault, but there are only two
things worse than vomiting, and one of them is looking at
Mark Kimes's code.

You can put the PKTs into a ZIP file, so long as the extension
is ZIP, not MO0 et al.  And so long as they are in a ZIP file,
not PKT.  PKT and MO0, TU0 etc are all treated as mail and will
be automatically processed.  BFN.  Paul.
