-=> Quoting Paul Edwards to Dieter Mirbach <=-

 DM>  different is the new implementation of PKT to QWK over previous
 DM>  release ?. That info you gave the phone is somewhat different
 DM>  to what is in the original MAKEMAIL of Brenton's.
 PE> 
 PE> Yes, a lot has happened since then, and it needs updating.  I
 PE> think it would be a good idea if you asked everyone here what
 PE> parameters they were using to PKT2QWK and QWK2PKT to find out
 PE> what REALITY is.  And compare that to what is actually documented
 PE> in PKT2QWK, and what is actually in MAKEMAIL, and then hassle
 PE> me about any discrepancies.  If I suggest a particular parameter
 PE> should not be used, then others can try it out and see if I am
 PE> actually right.

 But the original parameters work. Here they are:
 
\tpoint\pgmfiles\pkt2qwk tenmin.pkt -Ttenmin.tbl -N -I%1

The %1 is my name.

\tpoint\pgmfiles\pkt2qwk tenmin.pkt -I%1 -T -S -A3:711/934.8{at}fidonet
 
This is what you gave to me over the phone. Totally different.
 

 DM>  Yeah, I saw that with Bob's, but it still doesn't ensure that my
 DM>  outgoing mail has been correctly received by the host BBS.

 PE> How do you suppose that I know that my mail has been correctly
 PE> sent to Dave Hatch?

 Casting knuckle bones and reading chicken giblets ? I dunno.
 
 DM>  But can you do it on a point basis ? e.g. For some reason 4th
 DM>  Reich has been detagged by your BBS, but I used to have it in
 DM>  the past as I used to post the occasional mail in Z3 Tech. But
 DM>  now my mail is going to 4the Reich, which is the conference
 DM>  immediately prior to Z3 TEch, according to my Tenmin.Tbl. Who
 DM>  deselected it ? It wasn't me.

 PE> I've just gone and scanned all my netmail (ie 1.5 years worth),
 PE> and you have never selected FOURTH_REICH.  When I created 
 PE> FOURTH_REICH I didn't add it in to everyone as I didn't think
 PE> everyone was interested in it.  Unlike ISO_C, which I figured
 PE> EVERYONE was hanging out for.  
 
 But you did tag me for Fourth_Reich. I even saw some messages in 
 there once. From Brenton too, I think. 
 
 PE> Anyway, what probably
 PE> happened with you was that you made a complete abortion of
 PE> your setup, and used bits from here and bits from there, the
 PE> old PKT2QWK used to be 0-based, the new one is 1-based, the
 PE> old one required manual editing of control.dat, the new one
 PE> runs everything from the table.

 More than likely.

 PE> In short, the sooner you update TINYPOINT with accurate docs,
 PE> the sooner you can rest easy that the next time you wipe out
 PE> your hard disk, all you have to do is download the latest
 PE> TinyPoint and be done with it.

 PE> HINT, HINT, HINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Alright already. Now fuck off so I can get some work done.

 PE> The world is a complete abortion.  Please support clean up the
 PE> world day.  BFN.  Paul.

 Yeah, shoot a polititian. 1 down, oh so many more to go. Keep up 
 the good work Paul.
 
 Dieter
