i hear ya... argus, radius and taurus are written in delphi... so that's pascal 
really... we might be able to patch the binary to knock out that 'U' 
requirement... the thing would be to find it in the hex... i suspect forcing 
the 'U' check to true all the time would do it and shoule fit in the existing 
bytes of the check... sadly, though, my years of binary hacking are pretty far 
back...

possibly but i'm not going to override with Txy flags for every node and every 
mailer schedule event i want to have ;)

yeah, i've spent a few hours numerous times over the years hunting and 
searching... i suspect i'm going to have to locate a ftp search tool or similar 
and see if they can turn up anything... some of similar tools i find are hosted 
in the .ru top level domain... i don't use them because they want me to use 
their downloader shit and i'm not going to do that... too much like cnet's mess 
where they were shoving unwanted software along with the desired stuff and 
trying to install it... thanks but no thanks... there's too many other sites 
that carry the same file(s) that don't play shitty games like that ;)
