right... all offline mail doors were removed until my software settles down
enough for an offline door to work with it... some things have changed in the
data structures that make things not compatible...
MS> and much less a `Kermit' option...
never did have a kermit option... what you sent is/was to be the first ever on
the system...
MS> I wasn't able to locate the archive i sent to you
because you marked it as "sysop's eyes only" ;)
MS> and i found no `Kermit' option in the file section neither.
same protcol selection in the entire system...

i believe i understand... i was just not wanting you to be jaded about sending
some info this way and then nothing ever being done with it...
my biggest problem is to decide if i should go with native OS/2 flavor of
whatever or go with a DOS flavor... DOS stuff generally just drops right in...
OS/2 stuff has a few tricks that are needed at times...
it can be rather rough running a salt'n'pepper system ;)
