Remember back when I said that the BlueWave Setup Archiver line 
should be: C:\BWAVE\BWPACK.BAT {at}F {at}I 

I was basing that on the BZIP.BAT file, which doesn't have that "ZIP" 
reference in its' line. 

The BWPACK.BAT file does require it. 

ZIP Compression   C:\BWAVE\BWPACK.BAT ZIP {at}F {at}I

You'll find that a lot of programs automatically assume "C:". 
I have a few that are internally programmed for it. 
When I installed Win3.11 on the D: partition, a few programs couldn't 
find it, and gave errors. 
A hex editor found C:\WINDOWS in the relevant EXE or data file. 
I had to change those Cs to Ds to get things working properly again.

 JP> FIDO does not like that added character.

When I use Juxtaposition, I just use the BlueWave door, rather then 
the QWK door.
