A binary "blob" file with the actual       message content and another containing the headers for each message with a        pointer to the blob. Then a third containing the last-read pointers for        each BBS user... kind of a ripoff of Squish I suppose.              It works perfectly here but I had to fix a few bugs and limitations.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
