Hi, Paul.

I have thanks, but I don't intend to change any time real soon. I've got
better things to do with my time than spend it playing the endless
software upgrade game.

My current setup works fine with the exception of PKT2QWK not reporting
any file writing problems, and I can pick that up manually.

Regards, FIM.
