Hi, Bob.

BL>  BL> you've been writing a reader and looking at the hex-dump of the
BL>  BL> PKT, haven't you? I did that myself and thought: "What's the
BL>  BL> extra CR doing at the top of all these messages?"

BL>  FM> As it happens, no. I notice the blank line every time I start
BL>  FM> to type "Hi, Bob."

BL>   The blank line has the same function as Paul's SOT, in both QWK and
BL> PKT.

Yes, I guess it would; it would mean that "AREA:" was not on the first
line of text.

BL>  BL> I can't afford a menage a trois so I settled for a folie a
BL>  BL> deux.

BL>  FM> I can't even afford a folie a deux - so I get her to pay.

BL>   You don't know what it means, do you?

*You* took the line from menage a trois to folie a deux, I was replying
to that. What do you think I am, deluded?

Regards, fIM.
