ml> possibly... but you need to get your jamnntpd up to the 1.0 release    
   ml> code and get off that beta5...   
      
    NB> I started out with the 1.0 code. That was the first thing not to   
    NB> work. So I changed to the beta5 to see if there would be a   
    NB> difference, which there wasn't.   
      
   i don't remember if i caught that or not :/   
      
   ml> i just went looking to see what i had... seems that i downloaded    
   ml> the jamnntpd-1.0-os2.zip archive (229.1KB) but there is also a    
   ml> jamnntpd-1.0.zip archive available, (157.6KB) too... both have the    
   ml> same date of 2009 Jul 29 as do all the other archives at johan's    
   ml> mercurial repository located over at    
   ml> https://bitbucket.org/johanbilling/jamnntpd/downloads   
      
    NB> That's the one I have here. So I'll go back, wipe my JAM echos and   
    NB> start over with non-packed ones, and keep them that way. I was   
    NB> using the pack command on the message bases well before I started   
    NB> tinkering with jamnntpd.    
      
   when you say "pack" here, are you speaking of *just* removing old and deleted   
   messages or is this also including /renumbering/??   
      
   [trim]   
      
    NB> The non-programmer part was mentioned when you were speaking of   
    NB> differences between FPC and C code. :)   
      
   i thought that likely :)   
      
    NB> Yes, I know how to compile programs. I just need a little time   
    NB> without the kids hanging off my arms to sit down and get my hands   
    NB> dirty again. :)    
      
   hehehe...
