Thanks for that, so far no major dramas. One blemish is that the error
checking in the BAT files in TinyPoint leave something to be desired,
mainly when say it just runs out of drive space. That can result in a
total loss of the new mail, gone for good since its not that easy to get
point mail again. In my case no problem at all coz I never let an
untried system have its way with my mail without a safety copy, but it
could bite someone who just used it without precautions.

I did get a problem in what appears to be in PKTJOIN yesterday. Combined
3 files, one large, two tiny. That appeared to work ok thru to the QWK.
OLX extracted the PERSONALs fine and I replied to them fine too. No luck
whatever actually reading any messages in normal areas, complete crash
back to DOS by OLX, complaining about a virtual memory error.

That went away by just redoing the originals in two sets, one with the
two tiny archives, the other large archive by itself, producing two QWKs
instead of one. Havent got back to comparing the PKTs generated to see
whats wrong with the bad one.

I am using Brentons MAKEMAIL and SENDMAIL BATs but use FD to actually do
the mail run.

Yeah, managed to forget to update that yesterday and sent out another
bundle with 199. I have fixed it now, so thats done here.
