G'day Roderick

 You said something about M A X's BBS?

 RB>  Hello All,

 RB>              I am runing M A X's BBS, i have been using it now for a
 RB> month polling a Amiga run BBS, I have had no troubles.

 RB> The file name that M A X's produced was  3.622.446.0.we0

  This is std. format...

 RB> This Breaks the 8.3 IBM limit, can someone help me on this problem ??

  Working from memory, either in the Configure/Fido or Configure/Distrib.
Menu there's a flag for each system called "Old."  Tick it!  :)

  The purpose of this flag is to fix exactly this sort of problem...  I
believe that it'll still create the pkts with the same names in your
outbound: subdirs, but they'll be renamed by the mailer when they're sent.

  Shall I shut up now?       __                            . o       o ,
