Ok, I'll copy my ctrl/msgs.cnf file, the subs/* files, and VERT.ptr then 
I'll run fixsmb as you suggested.  I'll still be watching for an 
extra-large outbound REP file though.  In fact, I an considering

  sprintf rep "%%j%s.rep" hubid

  # check that size is acceptable
  int LIMIT_REPSIZE MAX_REPSIZE repsize
  set LIMIT_REPSIZE 1
  set MAX_REPSIZE 20480
  get_file_length repsize rep
  compare LIMIT_REPSIZE 1
  if_true
    compare repsize MAX_REPSIZE
    if_greater
      lprintf "QNET-FTP: %s size %d exceeds %d!" rep repsize MAX_REPSIZE
      lprintf "QNET-FTP: Aborting... No transfer."
      goto exit
      end_if
    end_if
    
as a mod for qnet-ftp.src/bin.
