BL> A few weeks ago, I tried to send a nul 60-byte packet zipped up as
BL> 0000000c.mo0 (it ended up a bit larger in fact) and it was rejected by
BL> some dickhead sysop's system on the other end. So I stopped it zipping

Oh yeah, what evidence do you have that it was "rejected"?

BL> and named it 0000000.PKT becasue the dickhead sysop at TML had told us
BL> previously to only do that 00000000C.MO0 with zipped ones.

BL> Am I take this lunatic message to mean that you want me to name my
BL> unzipped packets as 0000000C.PKT?

Yes, do that too.  Because I unzip them here, so then there is potential
for name-clashes.  I agree I don't think I mentioned this before, because
before I was trying to solve a different problem. BFN.  Paul.
