  I erased OLX - long gone. QWK does file requests using a file
called door.id but this only applies to QWK readers and won't do you
much good with qwk2pkt unless it reads door.id. I was more interested
in the QWK convention for doing a freq or file attach from inside the
reader. I can easily invent something for myself that will work with
VBrep2pkt.

 BL> I could add it to my rep2pkt easily enough, but I can't make
 BL> head nor tail out of qwk2pkt.

 FM> It's written in C. Don't even try. :-)

  Yair... I'm only up to beginner C, and the stuff in qwk2pkt is just
impossible.

Regards,
Bob
