There's no message base in my program. The way it works is to take the
packets you download from Paul and sort them into subject order and create
a new packet. This packet would then be fed into PPoint as normal. This
assumes that PPoint puts the messages on its messages base in the order
they were in the packet.



The way I've written it there's no chance it would run under DOS unless you
use something like GNU to compile it. I don't have the DOS version of GNU
so I can't try it.
