 AM> So why can't I just leave the .scd file and have 1 call to 
 AM> btp??

Because it will usually be a new day and thus it will exit at the start of
the event, so you need 2 calls.  It is more likely to be 2 calls required
than 1.  I just make sure that it is always 2!

 AM> What's wrong with the pvt flag being there?

Maximus won't stick it into your QWK packet.

 AM> I see, it's just the mail from the other points being

 AM> the mail they upload gets added to my packet)?  Doesn't that 

Yes for points, no for qwkers.  Qwkers (and my messages) only get scanned
just before I poll Dave.

 AM> mean it has to decompress my packet and everyone elses who 
 AM> is on the same tagged echos, add the mail from the last 
 AM> upload (point and/or qwk?) and then recompress it? For any 

All the archivers allow you to add new files to the archive without having
to decompress it.  The mailprocessor will always call the new file it puts
in the mail bundle by a new name (usually based on the timestamp).

 AM> and all points every time mail is added?  This doesn't sound
 AM>  right...

It is right.  BFN.
