Why not just use QWKPOINT.ZIP instead?  It is an archive that Alan
created which tells you what software you need to be a point and
still use your QWK system, under MSDOS.  It uses Frontdoor as
the front-end, which you are already doing, and some other piece
of software (mkqwk102) to do the pktqwk conversion.  Far more
robust than crap like pqwk hung together by batch files.

BFN.  Paul.
