But Paul warned me about tampering with *any* of FM> it! :-) Not that I can anyway, 'cos I can't freq it. I wrote a new pktjoin in VB (one that ignores tenmin.pkt), and thought: "Jeeze, this is too easy!" so I got stuck into QWK2PKT. Bloody hell! Both QWK and PKT are inventions of the Devil. First, you need an entirely different system for Netmail under QWK, so you have to do it twice, and then you have to sit down and work out all the ways it can stuff up. Nothing is checked! It either works, or it doesn't. I thought Paul was exaggerating with his kludges, and that it would be pretty easy to produce a PKT out of a reply QWK, but it's just one big kludge! The system is a kludge. Regards, Bob ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 @EOT: ---* Origin: Precision Nonsense, Sydney (3:711/934.12) SEEN-BY: 711/934 @PATH: 711/934 |
