   Hello Wilfred!

23 Oct 16 23:46, you wrote to me:

 AP>> I need to be able to purge the message bases (as they do get quite
 AP>> large and slow things down) and retain more than 9999 messages.

 WV> I've changed that to a maximum of 65535, for the next release. ;)

That would help as my magic # is 25000

 AP>> I also need to be able to pack the jambases without renumbering
 AP>> them.

 WV> Why do you need that?

For those of us who provide NNTP reading services it's necessary.

In NNTP the last read pointer is not kept on the BBS... It is kept on the
newsreaders.  It's important to not renumber on the bases that are read by NNTP
 readers and since some of us are providing fido by NNTP then we need a message
 packer that does not renumber.  Every time my message base is renumbered it
throws my NNTP users for a loop.

Allen
