And this wasn't a good idea. But fidonet has changed.              I still see no reason to enable the PATH detection code... on the basis that        nobody in the last several years has complained about it.              WV> NA> It is a misconception that code that has worked for decades needs to b       WV> NA> updated to support some new "modern" Fido technology...       WV>        WV> Yes please, put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and keep repeat       WV> the mantra "fidonet is not changing" for as long as you can. Maybe it will       WV> have become a reality when you're done... ;)              Do you honestly think ANY of the existing kludge or packet formats are        going to be changed? :)              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
