 JP> You have been listed as a missing person here for weeks at the

Actually, I get my fix/day also, except for the few times that I am sick
or out of town.  And I have one source of message packets that sends me
my fix/day automatically via an email attachment, so that they are
waiting for me when I get back on/up.  I often lurk, however... I don't
jump in unless there is something to say...  and sometimes I get behind
on READING my message packets (and thus, replying).  :)

 JP> have not lost a .qwk. Using the .ptr would be a fast way of
 JP> recovering this lost .qwk.

Thankfully, I haven't lost any recently either... :)  But knowing how to
retrieve stuff is a good thing to hold onto... 

 NB> You u/l it directly to the bbs, at Your Settings/Offline/Upload PTR. 
 JP> I have not yet seen this "path". I will go and look for it.
 JP> Thanks much, Nancy.

You are most welcome.  :)  That works for any Wildcat board.  It won't
work on Juxta, as that is Maximus.

 NB> And, you mentioned earlier that you hadn't had experience with the BW
 NB> door...  I'm surprised at that, since your other BBS, Juxtaposition,
 NB> has the BW door, and I've been using that as one of my backup bbs's. 

 JP> Do not be too ssurprised, I first got on Juxta, using a C=64
 JP> then a C=128. When I got a PC, I wanted ( needed ) a look alike to
 JP> simplify my use and seek a similar way to get to FIDO. Using BW the
 JP> way that I did and still do was my way to go. Even on Doc's, I
 JP> still use the same procedure....works for me ! I do not even know
 JP> what the door would offer me more. I am sticking with my way.

In other words, even though you are using the BW reader, you have always
gotten QWK packets?  The offline mail options don't really have anything
to do with how one gets onto the BBS, though.  I would have thought that
if you were using the BW reader you would have been getting BW packets,
through the BW offline door on the BBS, if that were available... (in
other words, it shouldn't have been a PC/C128 thing?)  I understand the
concept of keeping the "magic spells" as similar as possible...   
That's my MO, also, for good reason...

... Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up.
