PE> The idea is that YOU have to demonstrate that it is a bug in QWK2PKT.

RS> Indeed. Which is why you got a pair of input files, on which produces the

Neither of which is actually used by QWK2PKT.

RS> dud PKT and one which does not. With obviously the BAT file which included
RS> the QWK2PKT line so you could see the option switches which were used.

Of course I want the options.  I expect a one-line batch file with the options.

PE> I had to guess what %1 was used for,

RS> VERY difficult task given that its the input data for QWK2PKT Paul.

%1 is not input data for QWK2PKT.

PE> then I had to stuff around finding out what input it was expecting.

RS> VERY difficult task given that its the input data for QWK2PKT Paul.

No it isn't.  It didn't like your .REP file one little bit.

PE> YOU should have cut that one line out.

RS> Soorree, I dont read minds, many prefer to see the BAT file actually
RS> used so they can check stuff like the switches used in the QWK2PKT line.

I DID WANT to see the switches used.  Sending me a 100-line batch file
instead of a 1-line batch file does not let me know about switches I didn't
have.

PE> YOU SEND ME THE UNZIPPED FILE!!!

RS> I assumed that even you would be able to work out that that REP
RS> contains a single MSG, particularly when thats bog standard QWK stuff.

Yeah, which I don't actually use myself, didn't have a clue what was wrong.
 I was going to tell you that your .REP was corrupt, then I twigged that it
might have been compressed.  YOU should have done all that.

BFN.  Paul.
