G'day Peter

 You said something about M A X's BBS?

 RB>> This Breaks the 8.3 IBM limit, can someone help me on this problem ??

 PD> Max's BBS can't possibly be THAT bad however?  Surely files ARE
 PD> renamed as they are sent to 8.3 names?????  The thing IS _SUPPOSED_ to
 PD> be compliant in theory, and 8.3 is a prerequisite for that!

  It isn't and it does.  He just hasn't cfged it properly to use 2D mode for
non-4D systems.  [shrug]

  As is often the case with a BBS such as MAXs, when someone asks for help
he's inundated with replies of:

 "It's broken!  It's crap!  Get [whatever BBS SW the respondent prefers]"

  regardless of what the problem actually is...

  Shall I shut up now?       __                            . o       o ,
