What are you talking about ? You have at least four ST's running your
BBS each of which has many PD programmes.

Why must anyone send two disks (I assume you want the two copies on separate
disks) in the mail (of all things!) when I can just download it to your
BBS ? Here we are, with all this equipment, and we have to use the mail.
I swear, some folks sure can complicate things.

you by any means. Maybe you have Mega's lying around the office, but I
sure don't.
