Hi, Paul.

PE> FM> know how it happened. Certainly I did revisit that message several
PE> FM> times, but I don't know why what happened, happened.

PE>One of the mysteries of the West, along with why even the most
PE>ignorant of Westerners can say "hello" in about 50 different
PE>languages.

I can only say "hello" in half a dozen; I must be a particularly
ignorant westerner.

PE> PE> FM>> I sent a message to Areafix with 2 requests in it; %LIST and
PE> PE> FM>> %QUERY. I was expecting to get back the list of all messages
PE>areas
PE> PE> FM>> in two forms
PE> PE>> -
PE> PE> FM>> as a file and as a message. The file came back
today, with 749
PE> PE> FM>> areas listed.

PE> PE>> Yep, and the file was attached to a message, the blank one.  The
PE> PE>> subject of the blank message was the file name.  That's how file
PE> PE>> attaches work.

Oh.

PE> FM> Well where was the file attached to the message? The TinyPoint setup
PE> FM> creates an ATTACH directory off the OLX directory, but it wasn't in
PE> FM> there. *I* think the file I got was in response to my %LIST query (it
PE> FM> says it sends it back as a file, how is it
"attached" to the message?)

PE>There is a flag in the header which says "file attach", and the
PE>subject of the message is the file name.  This is documented
PE>in FTS-1 (what, you mean you haven't finished reading all the
PE>FTS and FSC specs?).

No, not quite. :-)

PE> PE>> Eh?  Don't ask me how to run a brain-dead OLR.  Like I say,
PE> PE>> POINT.* and MINP_DOS.* are available for FREQ from here.
PE> PE>> Plenty of help on how to install and use them too.  PPOINT
PE> PE>> is here too.  I'd suggest trying MINP_DOS.*, as if you are
PE> PE>> happy with that, it's all freeware stuff.  BFN.  Paul.

PE> FM> Paul, I need to run an OLR because of the other systems I access. I
PE>very
PE> FM> much prefer to be able to do the same thing (in this case, run the
PE>same
PE> FM> OLR) with everything.

PE>How many other systems are there?  See if you can point off
PE>them too.  And any that you can't, you can use PKT2QWK on
PE>*them* (it works both ways).  Presumably you get most of
PE>your mail from here?  BFN.  Paul.

One that I regularly call, and I might become a point there. Several
that I call occasionally. Most mail comes from you.

Regards, FIM.
