I'm impressed with your confidence to bolt on hpt.

I don't really need one per se.  I just wanted a ready core of messages to  
plop into SEM and play around.  But now that you and another couple of  
people mentioned husky/hpt, I *do* still have the Squish files of a  
handful of echos that Fido Packet Deluxe created!

Thanks for the details and pointing out fconf2golded.  I hadn't explored  
the various directories that FPD was relying on.  I'll definitely keep  
your post as a reference, and.. depending on your success, I might  
consider hpt.


 AA>> Fastecho seems more practical at this juncture.

 MF>OK, fine.

Well.. it just seems simpler (you know, GUI, click here, click there).
