 DM>> What exactly did you want me to do with TinyPoint?
 
 PE>> 1. Make it use PQWK220
 
 DM>  Easy :-)
 
 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

 There appear to be a number of incarnations of zip/unzip in your 
 files section. Could you please copy me the preferred version. 
 Ta.
 
 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.
 
 How about not deleting them immediately after unzip them ?
 
 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

 Just how public is this going to be - there could be some 
 ramifications by using an unregistered  version of Telix.
 
 DM>  Don't hold your breath...

 PE> I won't!  :-)  
 
 It would be more painless for you to give up smoking :-)
