Hi Paul

 PE>> Also, your messages to PUBLIC_DOMAIN and AUST_AVTECH didn't work

 RS>> Ditto.

 PE>> You have to manually fix your control.dat.

 RS>> How fucking medieval |-)

 RM> Hi Paul - for once I agree with Rod... The above examples are
 RM> typical. Why is point software so ridiculously unfriendly?

 PE> Wake up Roy, it's QWK that's truncating the area names.  BFN.

well spotted - i was pretty tired at the time...

I may yet have to eat my words, though. I got PPoint the other
night, and tried it out on my local sysop. Impressive. From typing
"pkunzip" on the ppoint archive to getting a good contact from him
was 15 minutes. And I didn't have to look at a single poxy config
file. And, best of all, it doesn't use that virus masquerading as a
program, Squish!

It has crashed out a couple of times, though, esp in the first few
seconds after starting when running under dv. Early days, though.

Cheers
