Or it could be they have indeed looked at what it does and how it does
it, decided that it looked fine, and ALSO decided that no matter how fine
it looked, bit hard to explain why processing multiple archive files of
PKTs in one run produced a fucked QWK, processing precisely the same
archive files of PKTs one at a time produced a set of QWK which were fine.

I'm not saying categorically where the bug is, I gave up being that
silly many years ago. Similarly I wont agree that it must be in PKT2QWK
as Frank is insisting now. Time will tell once its been found.
