Hi Reece,

It's the computer :-)

The C64/128 has two CIA timers.  QWKRR uses both of them.

CIA#1 is used for the timer during editing, CIA#2 is used for the real
time clock.

You didn't specify whether both clocks are not working or just one of
them.
Not all programs use the CIA timers..  they use the jiffy clock
instead.

There has been no other reports of either the clock or the timer not
working with QWKRR, so it is safe to assume that QWKRR is not to blame.

This problem occurs if you try to quote a line that has more that 160
characters. This would be evidenced by unusual word wrapping when
reading. Generally the only messages that contain lines of this length
come from the internet or USEnet echos.
If it occurs with the fidonet echo's then check the settings on your
mail door.. some of the newer doors have an option to not include
carriage returns in the QWK packets. You must ensure that the CR's are
always turned ON.

 RI> The fault was repeated on several different messages of varying
 RI> lengths although the press count was not done on all occasions.

If the problem is caused be neither of the above, then the only chance
of my possibly identfying and fixing the problem is with a sample mail
packet. If I can't duplicate a problem then I can't fix it.

 RI> Could that be where the prob. is coming from? e.g. type of packer.

NO.  The packer is just that..  a packer...  it is like the wrapping on
a lolly..  it don't matter what colour it is, or what the writing on it
says, the lolly will taste just the same anyway :-)
