Uh oh, SuperBlooper bites Bob on the bum again, embarrassing him atleast
Australasia wide too. Atleast it wasnt WorldWide I guess |-)

This one ended up in GTNet_Science again... |-)
Along with 2 others also about TinyPoint. Now if you were using a real
QWK system you would already know this |-)

Maybe those people telling me about all those bullet proofing and fail
safe techniques would like to explain them to the pensioner |-)

BL> I freq'ed tinyp004.zip this morning and the freq'ing thing works! How
BL> about that? TinyPoint is quite amazing. I'm not used to things that
BL> work.

BL> I made a whole new copy of TinyPoint on a floppy, and I'll run it
BL> from there to send you this.

BL> I went through all the 42 steps again, and did the housekeeping, and
BL> read the arcane mysteries of control.dat as applied to dopey
BL> BlueWave,

And promptly bloopered in exactly the same way you managed to do the
first time, same echo ended up getting the side spray too |-)

They do say the geriatrics are slow learners tho so I guess you can use
that excuse for your faking |-)

BL> and if you get this message it must have worked for the second time.

Um, Bob, ...

BL> I reckon if a pensioner can do it two out of two,

I see you still have your problems with using a 4 function calculator too.
Cant see the first 'two', or the second one either for that matter.
Funny that. Give up on the new fangled thing go back to counting on your
fingers bob |-)

BL> then Rod Speed's dog will do it easy!

He already has you dork. You dont think those fierce ones purporting to
have come from Bill Grimsley are actually from BG do you ?  How utterly
naive, they show obvious signs of their Alsatian heritage |-)

BL> As I said before, you're got a real flair for writing instructions.

Pity the geriatric old farts have such poor eyesight and cant actually
manage to read them |-)

You quite sure that it wasnt the same problem with all those projects
form the electronics mags which turned into columns of smoke and flames
when you turned them on ?
