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

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

  I sent it twice and got nothing from the freq, so then I sent an
80-byte PKT unzipped and it worked.

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

 PE> Yes, do that too. Because I unzip them here, so then there is
 PE> potential for name-clashes.

  Okay...

 PE> I agree I don't think I mentioned this before, because before I
 PE> was trying to solve a different problem.

  Does this mean you intend to go flying with the other pigeons?

  And anyway, it wasn't me you were calling a dickhead. My little
problem happened weeks ago.

Regards,
Bob
