 BL> Hi Paul,

 BL>          what a good idea... but I still won't know where it ended up,

 BL> will I? I've been accidentally cross-posting messages. That won't show

 BL> up if the problenm is all at my end. But I'll do it anyway.



Well, it depends where the problems are. If the problem is just on the
replies and PQWK is putting the message in the wrong area, then when you
process that packet back to a QWK one you'll be able to tell they were
corssposted. If the problem also occurs when converting the packet to QWK
then you're probably no better off.



 PM>> Don't worry, Brenton can fix this for you.



 BL>   Brenton! He keeps telling me to sacrifice a black cockerel at

 BL> midnight in a graveyard



Are you sure he said *sacrifice*. My memory of these things is different.
Oh yeah, make sure the chiken is a virgin as well.



 BL> and blames Paul for everything else.   :-)



It's probably *all* Paul's fault. He should have written a proper PWK to
QWk converter instead of hacking PVERT. It wouldn't be that hard to do.





Paul
