Re - PKUNZIP...I have also downloaded some files (compressed naturally) and
could not unzip them. I thought that I would leave that problem to when I had
a fair bit of time to devote to the problem, but I guess the esay way out is
simply to ask someone in the know. I know a chap at work who knows a fair bit

Nope..  The user default had all message flag's checked..  I added a few in
the file section..  Look'd at the user flags, I already had all check'd for
both..  (only have my name in the system)
I started reading the README.TXT that came with the update & notice'd
something about updating from a old version (1.08 if I recall right) and
thought I was close to that..  At lease I had the same ver from 4/2/97 when I
install'd..  Tried a /oldmenus option & same thing..  Well, actually, now I
cant even log in as me, I get the SYS3175 message..
Made it worse..  :{
I just install'd Warp 4 on my other comp over the weekend..  Think I'm gona
try a full install again..  If this works, I will re-install and hope this
works over the weekend..
Thanks for the sug anyway  :}

Write your reply.

assistant: Oakton, Virginia, August 4, 1997:
After seven years and well over a million calls, the OS/2 Shareware BBS
has moved from Fairfax, Virginia to Oakton, Virginia.  As luck would
have it, even though the move was only 2.5 miles away we had to change
phone numbers.
Effective immediately, the new phone number for the OS/2 Shareware BBS
is:
   703-242-4482
This one number is used for both subscribers and non-subscribers alike.
Even if you don't plan to call the BBS soon, please check your dialing
directory and anywhere else you store phone numbers and make sure that
you record the new number overtop of the old one.  Service to the old
numbers will be disconnected soon and I'd hate to be the person who gets
the old BBS numbers -- let's try to minimize the number of modem calls
going to the old number and waking up some unsuspecting soul.
Of course, the BBS is still accessible through all the same Internet
addresses:
   telnet://bbs.os2bbs.com (to access the BBS)
and
   http://www.os2bbs.com (through the web)

Also, I cant seem to find anything in the doc's on what POLL.CMD needs in
..
Next, minor things..  From the main menu, if I hit B (bulletins I think), the
only way I can get out of there is either G for goodbye, or hitting ESC.  The
T (top) does not return me to the main menu..  Any ideas why??

I've got 400 message areas and I really would prefer to keep them JAM as they
