 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> I did not see it on Doc's. I have yet to check Juxta.

It isn't on Juxta.  I don't think that the Juxta .qwk packets HAVE a
.ptr file in them... there isn't any place in the "door" to upload one. 
As I said, that's a different BBS software, Maximus.

That "path" is the (or at least one) way to get there for BBS's that are
using the *WildCat* software, like Doc's and Fidotel and Chowdanet.
You would press (Y)our Settings at the Main menu or the Download menu;
then (O)ffline settings at the Your settings menu (it's down near the
bottom of the screen); and then one of the choices on the Offline
settings menu is to upload your PTR file (that one is right below the
(S)elect conferences to scan option).

 NB> In other words, even though you are using the BW reader, you have
 NB> always gotten QWK packets?

 JP> Yes, I get .qwk and have been for the last 22 years. No other
 JP> suffix on any of my D/L. What would a BW mail packet be ?

Ah.  BW either has an extension of the day of the week with a number
from 1-0 (ie .MO1, .SU1, .SU2) or a numeric extension (.001, .002 ...
.223).  If one keeps the old packets for any reason, it's useful to use
the numeric extension.  The door keeps track of what the last one was,
and goes on to the next automatically.

... Relativity all depends on how you look at it.
