i've circumveted the problem by going back to ppoint for the present, i've

just got to get those messages back out of tmail now.

        had a further look at the pkt2qwk situation last night, i think that

the problem is in the .ndx files. i haven't had time to break them down, but

they look considerably different to ones in other .qwk packets that i have

downloaded from several boards. i do have the specs for the qwk "standard"

complete with code for generating the msbasic format data used in the .ndx, 

trouble is that it looks like the code in pkt2qwk is a straight copy of this.
