KR> damn cheek putting out crap like qwk2pkt, writing it in c and
KR> then expecting poor old rod to sort the mess out (: 

BL> ROFL! And then he has the cheek to abuse Rod for making a legitimate
BL> complaint. 

I didn't abuse him for that.  I abused him for wanting me to debug qwk2pkt
without providing the input that qwk2pkt requires.

BL> I don't know why Rod doesn't write his own version, in AWK.

Like his magic quoter, than Anthony committed Hurry Curry waiting for?

BL> Paul's qwk2pkt has started a rush of people learning programming so
BL> they can fix it. It's the ideal beginner's program. No matter how bad
BL> you are, you always do a better job of it than Paul.

Except that I didn't write it, I just debugged it, and tell everyone they
shouldn't be using it, they should be using Binkley/Squish/Msged. It's
funny how people use the exact program I tell them not to use, and then
complain about it.  Even if you are a dickhead than wants to convert PKTs
to QWK, there is a better program for doing this, mkqwk or something.  Yes,
there's some stuffing around to set it up, and no, I don't support it at
all, and no, there's no source code, but at least the person providing it
doesn't tell you "whatever you do, don't run this software". 
BFN.  Paul.
