Or get FMAIL and Remote Access and MKQWK.  Or I can try doing the QWK
pre-packing (my only concern about this is that it doesn't seem very safe
to me).  Basically I put in my batch file to log on as you at 7am, pack the
mail, copy the file into another directory, and you can download it.  PKT
is much better, and there's another delay you don't have to put up with -
the 15 seconds or so to get from Binkley to Maximus.  Don't know why that
takes so long either.  BFN.

P.S. Another possibility is to use whatever program it is that Bluewave
users use to convert from PKT  QWK.  Bluewave uses PKT format, not
QWK, and I believe they tell you to get a third party product to do the
conversion.  BTW, what is wrong with that C code?  I haven't tried
compiling or using it myself. Also, that PKT I sent you was corrupted,
which was WHY I was sending it to you in the first place, so only expect it
to handle half of the PKT file.  BFN.
