Only Apoint message base (AMF) supported."              I don't think this is entirely true because if you look at one of your        own posts of the 26th April where you included one of my posts from        way back in 2003, I said this: "APoint will handle a JAM message base        that APoint itself has created ......". As development stopped        sometime in 2001, I'm assuming that my statement from 2003 is still        correct. However, we've recently discovered a cosmetic issue when        converting an existing AMF format message area to JAM format. Based on        all that, it may be better to say something along the lines of        "Cosmetic issue after converting an AMF format area to JAM format".        I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do :-)              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:240/2188.31)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 226/17 229/354 426 1014 240/2100 2188 5138 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 246/2027 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 393/68 2432/200 390 2454/119       PATH: 240/2188 5832 229/426           |
