    On 2019 Feb 11 13:54:48, you wrote to me:   
      
    ON>>> Anyone have an updated version of the TP code from Joaquim? I found   
    ON>>> HUSKY has added a field in the first 4 bytes of the base header's   
    ON>>> reserved - for HighWaterMark for the scanner.   
      
    ml>> you should ask joho in the FD echo ;)   
      
    ON> Snorting! I cannot believe you would say such a reply. Since, I know   
    ON> based upon else echo content, you have a modified MKMSGJAM. :-/   
      
   hahahaha! yes, that library was written by Mark May back in the day... my   
   modifications to it only fixed bugs and opened some data that was   
   inaccessible...   
      
   bugs like using only hours:minutes:00 for the time when the message base could   
   easily store the whole hours:minutes:seconds form of time without even   
   rounding the seconds to multiples of two... squish has this limitation because   
   it uses the DOS file time stamp stuff which rounds the seconds... JAM doesn't   
   have it...   
      
   another example would be certain control lines that were not being properly   
   allowed/stored...   
      
   the biggest example may be my MSGID code but it is separate and i simply   
   called it and then fed the results to the control line code when writing the   
   MSGID to the message...   
      
   i never did anything with using the MKSMG106 code to read and reply to   
   messages... i only ever generated new messages with it...   
      
   i probably should see if i can find my original MKSMG106 archive and do a diff   
   of it against my modified code to see what i really changed in it... it wasn't   
   much but it brought the code more into line with the RA/FD/FE implementations   
   as well as with the JAMAPI code released by joe and company...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
