subject: MEX -- What is it?

Hi Gary,

 LH>      What do those switches do?  I don't believe I have ever seen any
 LH>      reference to them, unless they pertain to v3.01.

 GG> Yes, they are a Max 3.x command.  The "-2a" tells Silt 
 GG> to create files that
 GG> are compatible with Max 2.x utilities.  I use -2a to keep FEBBS happy.
 GG> FWIW, I also use DLC here, and have no problems.  (though I only use it to
 GG> update my download counters.)

    That's the main reason I want to use it.  I don't carry tons of files,
but I maintain a local bbs list and a state list and like to keep track of
how many people get it.  A lot less now than prior to the Internet, but
still people do want it.

     TTYL
