PE>>> 2. Make it use zip/unzip (and include the executables)

 DM>> DOS and / or OS/2 ?
 PE>>
 PE>> DOS only.  Telix doesn't run under OS/2, and anyway, the user

 DM>  There appear to be a number of incarnations of zip/unzip in your

 DM>  Ta.
 
Ok, I'm sending you a DIETER.ZIP which has the executables that
I am using for DOS (straight out of my path).  You are allowed
to distribute the zip/unzip executables by themselves. 

 PE>>> 3. Make sure PKTJOIN is called with *.PKT TEMP or similar.

 DM>> Obviously in the PQWK220 docs....

 PE>> But not in the TinyPoint batch file apparently...  Which is
 PE>> another thing you might want to add, something that copies
 PE>> the incoming packets into a temporary directory for backup.

 DM>  How about not deleting them immediately after unzip them ?

Yeah, I guess that would be OK.  And delete them before polling.

 PE>>> 4. The docs could be cleaned up too.

 DM>> TinyPoint Docs ?

 PE>> Yeah.  I don't think all the stuff about fascist sysops is
 PE>> relevant anymore, and Brenton probably doesn't want new
 PE>> points to send him mail either.  I think the program has

 DM>  Just how public is this going to be - there could be some
 DM>  ramifications by using an unregistered  version of Telix.

Telix is the only thing that can't be included in the package.
They will have to obtain that for themselves.  And it's up to
them to register Telix, not the TinyPoint authors.

Thanks + bye.  Paul.
