the other is ftp.

Well... I sure do hope somebody comes along that wants to keep the OS/2 version 
alive.  :)

Y

As in:

NetFile                 D:\BT\In

Nope.   Using NEF as a Tic processor, and it does fine.  

What I'm needing does not involve Tic processing, but a file attached to a 
routed netmail.   

I can, when motivated, figure some work-around, I'm sure.  Matt reminded me of 
some software that I already have, that I might be able to use to get the job 
done.  Not sure...  haven't delved into it.

Mainly, I wanted to get it on record - share what I had observed....
and I had a teensy little bit of hope that somebody might pop up and tell me 
some obscure trick that I'd missed.  :)

I think I said this to Matt earlier... but its kinda like - I want to use that 
function in Squish, because its right there, documented, and looks to me just 
like what I need.   I wanna make Squish do it... I don't wanna work around it.

Ok... thanks very much. 

Please to you, and whomever,  kindly remember this when you re-do the OS/2 
version of Squish next week.   <g>            or whenever....  :)
