Thanks, yep all understood :)

I pulled down a copy of hptutil from Git as I saw Deon was using it in his
build. I'm not sure what Dan uses but think it's the same.

When I built it, I ran the executable and it came back with this

hptutil/lnx 1.9.0-cur 2011-03-09

Usage: hptutil [options]
Options:  sort          - sort unread messages by time and date
      link         - reply-link messages
      purge        - purge areas
      pack         - pack areas
      fix          - fix base (hptutil fix -? for more help)
      -j      - link Jam areas by CRC (great speed-up)
      -k      - keep import.log file
      -q      - quiet mode (no screen output)
      -i <filename>     - alternative import.log

So it looks like it's old circa 2011... Hmmm..

I'll grab sqpack and compile it also... but I'm going to wait until I read
your advice about my cfg gaffe and the best way for me to recompile (delete
files already created? etc.)
