 Well, how do, Jean?

This confirms we are "Granny Smith-Macintosh." The BW door has
been broken - from what I've read - since 2K. I too have to used the QWK
door which gives us `whatever.QWK' mail bundles to download.

I did read a few here report an a dissected QWK, or REP file, so they would
better be able to tell you what's going wrong on your reader. My problems
must have been with the BBS that was sending mail. Solution: Use
Multi-Mail. Long Term: Use a different BBS so now I can use BW again.

The brightest my light goes, is with a hidden file then, or the
C:\UTIL\PKZIP.EXE line in your config, or a SET statement is specifying a
switch to PKZIP. After that, I'm just blowing wind. Did you look for a
hidden file? That's where I'd still look.

You've got a head scratcher!

No, isn't it a line in your config? Maybe you could force an option that
could clear a sticky file? It's been so long, but "C:\UTL\PKZIP
-f" might force a file to overwrite, or some such.

 JP> Penguins on the beach today.

I heard on the news that we were warmer than you today. 


Well, good luck with the flags! I really have no brilliance to shine on the topic.
