The thing that got me, was that when I pointed out that BATPOWER carried
UUE messages that the answer was "That is an overseas echo and there
is nothing we can do about that"

IOW if they CAN control the WILL control :-(

Either way it means Paul as the common central feed ??

Yeah that is an unknown, but it smells abit politicy to me.

It works quite well and even though it is a bit large (96 columns across)
I made the figures foreach pick up a different colour.  The diferences stand out OK

I would have liked to do a better job of it but it was a matter of knocking

Kind regards
