RS> Shit, forgot about that, what a fuckup. I awked that list from

RS> I'll do another list, but its a bit more

NP> Aren't your running FRODO now?

Yep. I read the mail as QWKs with OLX, and convert
to PKTs which FroDo hurls at Pauls system.

NP> The extra's caused by splitting could however cover a lost

NP> the figures for Sydney, Hobart and Brisbane were all exact.

RS> Probably better to just do the list properly by using the outgoing
RS> PKTs as the input to the list generator instead. It covers a longer
RS> period than the OLX OUTBOX anyway. Just not so convenient to Awk them.

NP> I'm not sure what you are on about here, but
NP> the extra messages are not a real problem.

Yeah, thinking about it more after I said that, I guess
its no big deal when you arent just counting messages.

NP> Usually only you, and my brain has got used to the dicrepancy.

True.
