   I'm impressed with your confidence to bolt on hpt.

   I don't really need one per se.  I just wanted a ready core of messages to     
   plop into SEM and play around.  But now that you and another couple of     
   people mentioned husky/hpt, I *do* still have the Squish files of a     
   handful of echos that Fido Packet Deluxe created!

   Thanks for the details and pointing out fconf2golded.  I hadn't explored     
   the various directories that FPD was relying on.  I'll definitely keep     
   your post as a reference, and.. depending on your success, I might     
   consider hpt.   
      
      
    AA>> Fastecho seems more practical at this juncture.   
      
    MF>OK, fine.   
      
   Well.. it just seems simpler (you know, GUI, click here, click there).
