Write your reply.

assistant: This could be a big selling point for your BBS software.  Just about  every
BBS is QWK-network-capable right out of the box, but most  require one or
more pieces of additional software to add FTS  capability.  The typicial
mailer, tosser, etc. requires a lot of  twiddling (and/or considerable
experience with batch files) over and  above that required to setup the BBS
itself, and usually with a  dramatically different interface.  Simply
standardizing the "look and  feel" would make things easier for new
sysops...and established sysops  looking for a new software package.
That's good to hear!
You're quite welcome.

    The current public version of pkunzip for OS/2 does not support the 2.04x
compression format.  I recommend using Info-ZIP's UNZIP.EXE.  It works
marginally well.
    PkWare is working on a PKZIP/2.  Speaking as a beta tester, it works very
well.  It is 32-bit, supports long filenames, and EAs.  The parameters are
very nice as well.

assistant: I'm still preparing an AdeptXBBS board to go online. Recently, I fired
it back up to test, and I can't logon either by local node or named
pipe.
If I try to logon through a named pipe, my comm program says "pipe not
found." If I try a local logon, it just stops at the line that
identifies the software. It is not hooked to a phone line yet.
The challenge is, I have no idea what changes I'd made before this
happened, because I had to put it aside for about a month due to
personal problems. I know I copied an older set of DLLs into it, per
recommendations I read here.
The version is 1.08a25 (VC). Is there any other information you need
to figure out what MIGHT be the problem?
