BL>   Yet again, I have discovered how utterly useless the SOT/EOT thing
BL> is. You actually had me convinced it could work... but in writing my
BL> Pascal version of PKT2QWK, step by step I came to the inescapable
BL> conclusion that the best way to handle the SOT/EOT lines is to remove
BL> them. Haven't you worked through the logic yourself? Your SOT/EOT goes
BL> inside other lines that are *already* there! 

Sure Bob.

PE> Any time you want to make your version available for others to
PE> use, feel free, as I have no desire to maintain PQWK at all.
PE> Any time you want to wank in public, as you have done for the
PE> last year or so with your mythical VB version, don't bother
PE> telling me about it, it's about as impressive as a dog turd.

BL>   I'm a *beginner*, Paul. I don't expect a beginner's program to work
BL> better than one written by a professional and there's nothing mythical

Mark Kimes is not a professional, if his code is anything to judge
by.

BL> about it. I just don't share your thoughts on public domain. I prefer
BL> capitalism over communism - and that's all public domain is in another
BL> guise: others living off the fruits of my labour, free.

In other words, you're continuing to wank, and so people will
continue to use PQWK.  That's what's happening, Bob, so don't
bother complaining to me about me fixing bugs in PQWK, it's a
far better job than you're doing.  BFN.  Paul.
