Hi, Paul.

PE> FM> This time, I hope I've captured all the input so I can recreate and

PE> FM> PQWK222.ZIP. What does it fix?

PE>PQWK222 fixes the problem with people leaving "To:" out of their
PE>netmail, so please switch to it.  And if you can reproduce the

OK, then it's relatively minor and I can do that at my convenience.

AAMOI, if I send netmail to Areafix (as I did today), I don't put a To:
in the first line. What will 222 do then?

PE>problem with PQWK222, especially the problem with CONTROL.DAT

Why do you say that? Have you made other changes to PQWK222 apart from
what you said above?

PE>being zero-length, I'll take a look at it.  Please include an

I have already reproduced *that* problem with my existing PKT2QWK; if
you insist I'll verify it on 222 as well before sending you enough stuff
to reproduce it yourself. However, I want to try and track down the
other bit, too - PKT2QWK generating fucked indexes. As I said, I think
I've captured enough to be able to reproduce that problem too, although
my one attempt to date, while it did create the problem, also exhibited
another weird effect - the QWK was only ~1/4 the size it should have
been! I think we've got more than one bug here.

PE>archive containing the PKT files, and a batch file that calls
PE>PKT2QWK with whatever parameters you normally use.  BFN.  Paul.

Yeah, it'll be the minimal amount I can put together which shows the
bug, but be prepared to wait an hour while it runs - more if you're not
running a DX50 :-)

Regards, FIM.
