Hi, Paul.

I'm back, and I have a new problem and a recurrence of the old one.
First, the new problem.

As you will appreciate, there was a pretty big packet waiting for me
when I got home - 648k compressed, 1.7Meg raw. So it should have taken
quite a while for PKT2QWK to do its stuff, but not 57 bloody minutes!
Round about the 400+ message mark, it started to take several seconds
per message - anything from 1.5 to 5+ - as indicated by the output as it
does each one. Then, it decided to write a zero-byte CONTROL.DAT! So the
only thing readable was the personal messages. This was easily fixed by
grabbing a CONTROL.DAT out of another packet.

The old problem also occurred, with spurious stuff being generated into
the .NDXs. This was also easily fixed, by deleting all the .NDXs. AAMOI,
there were 1523 messages according to the indexes but only 1395 real
ones.

This time, I hope I've captured all the input so I can recreate and
possibly track down these problems. I notice you've sent me a new
PQWK222.ZIP. What does it fix?

Regards, FIM.
