 DE> Nice. Mark, would you netmail that unit to me?

i can get it together and make it available but first i'd like to see if i can 
get hold of mark may and get approval for releasing my mods... note that i've 
only worked with this under TP6... i believe that i did do some experimenting 
with BP6... i've not tried to use it at all under delphi or any windows or os/2 
native pascal compilers...

i don't know if he is still around or not...

further on my mods, i remember fixing one bug that would cause control lines to 
be skipped... the fix was to add a simple DEC() call since the routine was one 
character too far ahead to see the start of the next control line... the result 
was that every other control line was missed...

i know there were other things, too... just kinda wish i had documented them 
more... one thing that i've been wanting to do was to incorporate the 
filebuffering stuff into those other message base formats that don't have it... 
MSG and JAM are the only two that use it and mark never got around to putting 
it in all of them before releasing his bbs source code with mkmsg in it...
