Curious, though, that the reader doesn't keep track of your reply
packets for you.  Does Reply Manager work for you?  What shows up in the
ULPkt column isn't anything that the user can manipulate... it's an
automatic thing like the calculation of what percent of the packet is
read.  It makes me wonder if somehow the reader doesn't find the reply
packet, open or existing, so just defaults to none.

2038, and it's anything written in the programming language used for BW
and many other programs that die then.  Another 19 years, so you would
be 103...    I'll only be 89 then... ;)  But who knows if FIDO will
still be going then... or the internet as we know it, either, for that
matter...!
