Fidonet does not work fine.  It works.  Barely.  One of the problems you
will see due to this sort of problem (inadequate separation of user-text)
is the abortion of the patches I send getting mangled in-transit.

I will post the rationale to you in the next message.  It may not make it
to you, because it is very long.  BFN.  Paul.
