Yes I know, and it has been awhile since I tested it, it compiled fine, and 
squish worked well enough, when I tested it as a point tosser, MBSE BBS <-> 
BinkD/Squish/Msged, once or twice, but did not think to check whether the 
packets went out as zip or arc, which made no never mind here as both system 
had both, and both where setup ...

Unfortunately, bad power killed my server that the point was running on, and 
damaged my BBS systems hardware, and I have only recently gotten a seemingly 
stable hardware setup for the BBS, but have yet to be able to replace the 
server ... :-((
