I've got a nifty utility on my computer that lets me rename my QWK
packets right away... it changes the name on the packet to include the
date, and a letter for multiple packets on the same date...  So docs.qwk
would become doc0831a.qwk for the first packet of the day...  then if
they stack up for a few days, they don't overwrite...  BW packets, I use
a numeric suffix...  :)
