To be honest I never knew about that subdirectory and the files it contained. Because it costs nothing for disc space now I probably have 15 copies of the same directory.

I have been on fido for over 30 years and all I had was bad mail from10 years ago is not bad.  AND I did this without trying.

Ya, these were mail bundles re-named and set in some obscure subdirectory going back years and I just found it.

Anyway... I do have a new-old computer setup now... Windows 7 32Bit... Disc space is clean and ready to go.  I will be adding a modem to it because the Zombie Apocalypse is near.

More to come later...
