ok... perhaps it was nice complaining about not finding hpt, then...

 JL> Hmm. Strange. It isn't creating any .?LO files. :/

they may not be needed if the file names are the hex of the destination net
and node... that's the really old school way...

eg: you and i are in Z1... if we are exchanging echomail then from you to
me the bundle (mo1, we3, ect) name would be 0e32000c... you would also see
that for ?UT files which are raw PKTs destined to my system...

i'm starting to think that kai is on to something... you're using the linux
binkd to send mail managed with the DOS HPT running in a dosbox, right?
that means that at least your outbound directory tree is shared between
linux and DOS, correct??
