You'll have heard this by now, but it's a line in mmail.rc. Don't try to create
mm.rc or multimail.rc. You'll be spinning your wheels there. <G> There will be
two sections one for unzip, and the next for zip along with all the other
protocols you're likely to need. Because there's no *pk* in NIX, the default is
*zip* and *unzip*.Put your full path to c:\util\PK(un)zip and you shold be
quite done. The switches are optional I think, but might be needed to update
last read pointers and the such.

I've heard good things about it, but was told it can be dated.

Well... I told you it was likely one or two things. You need a Telnet client if
I'm to understand it. (Don't use it.)

Who said no one cares. How many replies have you received on this?

And here we were thinking you were drunk! <G+D> There are others that connect
up to an internet socket. Maybe one of those would provide you with more
success. You aren't dialing into a BBS I take it?

... Or for physicists: Don't drink and derive.
