   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...

    PQ> Ahmm... the clue is in my 'clue' above, me thinks.  :)   
      
   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
