   Thanks for reporting that to me.  I discovered that when I brought my BBS back   
   to life last year, I forgot to restore the directory that had all the   
   archivers (ZIP, ARJ, etc).  I still need to find some of those programs, but I   
   have ZIP working.     
      
   I just tested WWIVMail and //QWK, and both seem to work fine now.  It helps   
   when you have PKZIP and PKUNZIP in the proper directory.  :)   
      
   You might want to check under "D" (Defaults) to make sure you have screen   
   pauses enabled.     
      
   Hopefully it will all work for you this time.  :)
