OOOOOps! Sorry. I've been sitting in front of this bluddy number cruncher

for about 6 hours when I sent this message to ya. I used the oportunity

for a break whilst inputting about a 147 years of family history into a 

database. Guess the fingers had gone on automatic when I typed in your name.



RJ> What do you use on TMTL? 



 PE> Tobruk.  Now ask me what I would recommend.  :-)



Ok. "What do you recommend?" Just joking! What i need is the program

that you use to unpack the incoming mail and then toss it into the BBS

(whatever flavour) message bases. I used to use FroDo as a front end

with QuickBBS but cant remember what I had to do the tossing.

Have you doco'd the bugs you found? I wouldn't want to get into any

"discussions" with you about whether  something is a feature or a bug

e.g. Spirit modems;8-}

Can I try "Tobruk"?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT!!!!



 PE> Oh, did you know that TML has a 10-minute login time limit, no

Yep!





I'll FQ FILES and see if Tobruk gets a mention.

TTFN, Robert.



... Am I having fun yet?
