Hello Bob, nice talking to you !  

 JP>         My version of BW and its provided zip-unzip apps are dated    
 JP> 1998 and have not given me an iota of trouble.

 BA> The problem may be that your uplink changed to a newer version
 BA> that does things differently and your versions don't properly handle
 BA> packets zipped with the newer version of the software.

        Howling up the wrong tree here, Bob. I have no problem
    whatever with my mail. If as you say, my uplink changed something,
    it also still honours any 1998 zip-unzip function. All pwk.zip are
    handled properly, the proof is your reading of this pearl. Whom
    did you have in mind ???
