Also a few additional       function files to facillitate the filteration issues. I'd probably do a QWK       <-> MSG that way if QWK was a desirable format, which of course it isn't.              > How do you mark a message for a reply later?              Use the line number of the msg and use that in a reply vector and then once       editted write it to a formatted reply file that can be uploaded to the       mothership, "Little Mikey's Brain" in this case. If you see this reply then       you have confirmation that it works.              > Take a look at OpenXP and give it a spin!              Sure. However if it cannot handle utf-8 msg posting then it won't get very       far here.              Дуже груви,        Maurice              -o -o -o -o -o -o -o -o o- o- -o o-        (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ /) /) (\ /)        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
