PE> I said "everything required to reproduce the bug".

No it doesn't.  The chances are that if you are seeing a bug in QWK2PKT,
then the bug is in the QWK2PKT program, not your OS. So you make sure that
QWK2PKT is being operated correctly, and producing invalid results, and
then you send me that test environment.  

PE> You sent me a batch file that references directories I don't have, etc etc.

RS> Not if you cut that QWK2PKT line out of the BAT if you do actually
RS> want to run it yourself rather than just inspect the switches used.

I WANT THE SWITCHES *AND* I WANT A ONE-LINE BATCH FILE.  Why do you think
you can only have one or the other?

PE> Try again.  A one-liner, get rid of any crap, I'm not interested in the
PE> zip-compressed file etc.  Just the minimal number of files used by QWK2PKT.

RS> Soorree, not interested in playing juvenile games. You've
RS> obviously worked out whats going on in that file already.

Rod, you haven't even done the rudimentary task of making sure that there
is a bug in QWK2PKT, by producing a one-line batch file that proves it.  If
you're not interested in getting QWK2PKT debugged, fine, silent deletion
next time you send me a PKT with that glitch. BFN.  Paul.
