 That would be Ok if this were the Danish Msged Echo, but it's not
 and English is the required language.  Besides I don't know a word
 of Danish and there is no compelling reason for me to learn it.

 Well than maybe I am wrong.  You are a lot closer to the code than
 I am and you seem to have your finger on some of the problems.

 I'm sorry, I can't understand that at all.  Can someone translate
 this last one?

KL> Do you recall any othere?

 On my system, I reported this earlier BTW, in b3 the first area
 (*.MSG) is repeated at the end of the list.   IOW - the first area
 is called NETMAIL.  That area is followed by about 10 other *.MSG
 areas, then the squish areas.  After the squish areas NETMAIL is
 there again.  This only happens with b3.  I compiled b3 using Borland
 C++ v3.1 and checked the behavior against the b3 exe from the ftp
 site and it is the same.

 No harm done.
