PM>> One of the guys at work runs an Amiga BBS (Ron Verstagen of 3:711/438)

 PE> Small world!  He's fixed it actually.  He told me he doesn't have the

He didn't mention what he did, but zapping the exe would probably be the
easiest way.



 PE> I was thinking of writing a utility to fix up packets, for people

 PE> who's mailprocessors don't do this already.  However, it could be a

In what way is it dangerous?



 PE> No-one has asked me for suggestions on what to do if there's no

 PE> source code and no author support, so I don't have any live users to

 PE> get user-requirements from.



That's never stopped you before :-) Just write the thing and convince
people they need it.



 PE> BTW, why on earth would Ron mention to you about messages about date

 PE> formats?  Did he know you pointed off here or something?



He knew I sometimes posted in AUST_C_HERE, and he'd seen your name there as
well. He was walking past my desk the other day and he stopped by and asked
if I knew you. Since my mind was on something else at the time, I said I
did. I don't normally admit to knowing you :-)



 PE>  + Origin: none (3:711/934.9)



Very inventive :-)
