The change to 5D arddressing is what John S. suspects!  After re-reading the QM 
docs, I'm _very_ close to agreeing with him.  They don't use the "D" or 
"fakenet" words, but the description is VERY similar.

Marc recommends Squish also, gosh, I hate learning new stuff!  At least good to 
see it CAN use my areas.bbs...

After experimenting with packets to 396/1, that DOES seem to be the case.

Tobias had me use "If errorlevel 1 goto pack" in my Msged.bat a year or so 
back, and it has worked fine.  Don't need all the other stuff for what I do, 
and as he explained, that will catch everything!


     Thanks, M.
