Hello All hope you are having a good day :-)!
About: Seal Again :-((

I have a problem with getting seal to work properly.  It writes a message
to my message base and at the same time corrupts the message area requiring
me to run sqfix..:-(  I cannot get it to send a message to my uplink asking
for the echo let alone perform properly.

I would like Seal to rad my netmail which it does send my downlinks a copy
of the reply, then send my uplink a request for the echo if I have not
already got it, if I have it add my downlinks to the echo.

I do not need the file areas looked after as ALLFIX does that for me.

Seal *must* run on auto pilot, *I do not want to babysit it*.  This has
become a major PITA for me, I guess I don't get the concept.  This is an on
going project and one of the things to fully automate my system.

Frustrated YES.  Annoyed MAJOR.  I have been told this should work...NOT.
