Well... I sure do hope somebody comes along that wants to keep the OS/2
version alive.  :)

Y

As in:

Nope.   Using NEF as a Tic processor, and it does fine.  

What I'm needing does not involve Tic processing, but a file attached to a
routed netmail.   

I can, when motivated, figure some work-around, I'm sure.  Matt reminded me
of some software that I already have, that I might be able to use to get
the job done.  Not sure...  haven't delved into it.

Mainly, I wanted to get it on record - share what I had observed....
and I had a teensy little bit of hope that somebody might pop up and tell
me some obscure trick that I'd missed.  :)

I think I said this to Matt earlier... but its kinda like - I want to use
that function in Squish, because its right there, documented, and looks to
me just like what I need.   I wanna make Squish do it... I don't wanna work
around it.



Ok... thanks very much. 

Please to you, and whomever,  kindly remember this when you re-do the OS/2
version of Squish next week.               or whenever....  :)
