I saw that.

I also read William's comment that others have reported possible
problems; let's hope things get sorted out. I have successfully sent
messages that have been split by this version via the Hall of Fame BBS
(but, I suspect you're referring to a previous split). WRT 'messing up',
if you've found and reported a bug, then you've performed a service by
possibly saving others some grief. <g>

Sounds like a good plan; please let me know how it works out.

Then maybe we'll all lead pleasant (and uneventful) lives. :)
