Out of curiousity, what was the issue?

My BW reply packets were not being decompressed by ARJ with the Blue Wave
offline mail door on the BBS.  I'm using the open-source ARJ from ARJ
Software Russia on my Windows box and my ArcaOS box (DOS version).  I forgot
to add the -2d switch to Multimail's ARJ compression line.  -2d means "use
ARJ/DOS compatibility".  It all works fine now.
