Hi, Stephen!

 SG> For Ezycom v2.00, the structures haven't changed much, if at all, from
 SG> those included in the 1.48g0 package. The latest structures can't be

Oh, that's fine-as long as I get a general idea.  The real reason I
asked was that a friend of mine, Mike Dillon, is rewriting Alexi/Mail
(not sure if you've ever heard of it).  A/M is a multi-platform,
multi-OS tosser/packer/areafix/autopost/gating software and he was
interested in looking at Ezy's structures.

I was interested in case I wanted to write one of my own little utils
or something.  I write in Pascal too (I write Cheepware, my little
line of BBS doors and utils).

 SG> The development team thanks you. :)

Oh, well, thank you. :)  Now that I've figured out HOW to set my
message reading commands right (I was using the echo flags instead of
the actual group numbers), now I can get all of my mail, heh.  BTW,
GoldEd works wonderfully with Ezy.

 SG> It never seems to end, does it.

No.  I'm a sucker for punishment, it seems, but now, to set up a
message network, it's terribly easy... 

 SG> I was told you were using Os2 but no matter, I'll _deal_ with Patrick
 SG> later. ;)  I've tested it on my WinXPP (NTFS) and so far it seems to
 SG> work ok except I found that environment variables are case sensitive.

Well, I was running OS/2, but for personal reasons, I switched back
over to W2K.  I have Ezy on a FAT partition because for some reason,
when I tried to load up the filebases with EZYADOPT, Ezy would keep
looping, filling as many empty filebase slots as it could and just
hang.  I'm still at a loss as to why, but it works now, so that's all
I'm worried about. :)

I only wish I'd discovered Ezy years ago.  I have a rather bad
reputation for switching software (I've run well over 20 packages),
but now, thankfully, no more. :)

Later,
Sean
