      Hello mark!

   I found the UNP program and it worked.  It is not tossing andnotifying.   
   Appears that WCNOTIFY.EXE was pk-lited and once I got over that hurdle it's   
   now patched and working.   
      
   Bob seems to think that Gerard passed away... but I've seen his picture on one   
   of the Zone 2 historical websites when he was younger and found a MSDN profile   
   that is quite active under his name that posted on MSDN last week.   
      
   I don't have an MSDN profile (can't afford one I think you pay for them) and   
   could find no way to directly contact him through MSDN.  I suspect he's truly   
   abandoned things and if he was caught hacking that may be a reason.   
      
   It's a shame because GECHO is the rolls royce of tossers.  It has every bell   
   and whistle you can think of.  But... for stability my money is and always   
   will be on FMAIL... I love open source!  Maybe someone will code in other   
   formats and goodies for FMAIL.
