Hello Paul!



 PE> With saving of about 520k, this becomes 1.2 meg.  So let's leave the pkzip

 PE> + pkunzip in there after all.  I'll just have to ask if msged handles the

 PE> hudson messagebase.  There is one that handles the squish messagebase.

 PE> Actually, instead of that, how about replacing golded with mkqwk or

 PE> whatever it's called, and use QWK packets instead, that way people can

 PE> move to a "proper" messagebase reader if they want to. 
Would you like to

 PE> experiment with that (for the advancement of science).  I'll just see if I

 PE> can find the proper software for it.  Yes, mkqwk102 it is.  Also, you will

 PE> need ra_111.* to install it.  Once you have set up ra for the bare

 PE> minimum, you can actually delete it, but you still have to set it up

 PE> initially.



I'll try some experiments along the lines of what you suggested. It

just may take a few days to get organised and find the time. Can I FREQ

mkqwk* and RA_111* off you?



You know, people that can find 40 megs for os2 [sic] and associated

utils should have no trouble finding an extra 3 megs anyway. I just

deleted that heap of shit os2 [sic] off my machine at work, and I now

find myself with an extra 40megs for pmaker 5.0 and a great deal of

other software that seems to run fine under windows. The 3.11 upgrade

to WfW should kill os2 [sic] IMO.





Regards, Alan
