I am very guilty of maintaining bad habits..:-)  I learned what little I
know in the DOS world, was not smart enough to go OS/2 when I got into this
mess. :-)  I took on a daunting task about a year ago learn a new OS and
new BBS at the same time.  Pretty gutsy for a person that is just about 50.

yup 111ZB2 is working just fine.

Just part of the automation on my side....:-)  As you know I sometimes push
things to their limit.

I found another work around I may apply.  But I can call all my points
voice and tell them to either pickup their mail or lose it.  Most of my
points are my kids so Dad still rules a little bit.:-)


Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
