 NP> Shit!  Something must have gone wrong. It actually worked.

 Yeah, this is going to be a real problem,  I think a complete erase and
re-load of all my software should do the trick.  :-)
 
 >  So paul has a copy now as well.

 NP> I wondered about the area.
 NP> So you DO have a special requests area.?

 Sort of.  I put it in my file tosser program thingy when I first found out
about it.  Since then, any files I put into that directory go out to paul.

 NP> It is OK to use it as repository of a file requested by another point?

 I spose, everyone has access to it anyway.  At the moment, they get sent to
paul as well, but when he changes over, that will stop.  So I'll have to work
out how to break my software then... :-)

 NP> Must figure out file attaches one day...........

 Send a netmail to whoever, specify the full filename in the subject, and
flag the "file attach" flag on.  If you want to send it to the
specialr area,
you'll have to send a TIC file as well.

 Call it whatever.TIC   with the contents:

area                  The file echo area goes here (say SPECIALR)
origin                Where this file started its journey (fido address)
from                  The last place it visited, same as origin if you sent it
file                  The file name itself.
desc                  A description of the file.
pw                    Your session-level/mail-packet password here.


an example,

 00000000.TIC
area SPECIALR
origin 3:712/610
from 3:712/610
file SHITBOX.JPG
desc Picture of a shitbox
pw PASSWORD
