  No. Currently, I'm rewriting qwk2pkt to add the point address and
set the privacy flag in netmail if I forget. I've found the answer to
useless software... write your own! It adds a whole dimension to the
config file - you configure the code itself.

  What makes you think pkt is any better? At least pkt has its fields
null-terminated, but they both work on fixed fields and good luck.
