RS> Proper maintenance catches most of that stuff, compile and pray doesnt.

BTW, "compile and pray" is a gross misrepresntation of reality.
I don't have a test environment for QWK, since I don't use it.
However, Brenton does, so I get him to do the testing.  In fact,
I tell him what tests to do (ie send netmail to these two
people etc), and he does, and I have a look at the incoming
netmail or packets and see if they have the expected control
lines in it.  It's even better than doing my own tests, because
it is being used in a live situation.  Brenton hasn't complained
yet, and it suits me down to the ground, and the end result is
that it works.  And when it does work, I THEN make it available
to everyone else.  That's why you always see Brenton using a
later version of PQWK before anyone else (for anyone who can
read the PID anyway).  I know, I know, juvenile debating
techniques right?  Or is that juvenile testing techniques?
BFN.  Paul.
