Once upon a time, out on MARS.

While reading the mail, wispering this:

GC>    I'm trying to get the BBS moved to OS/2 but I've run into a bit of a
GC> problem.  Anything that is called external to the BBS refuses to run, i.e.
GC> DSZ, PKZIP, etc.  I can download/upload Bluewave packets via the door as
lo
ng
GC> as I use the internal DSZ, same for downloading files via the BBS.  I
can't

GC> pack mail in the Bluewave door because PKZIP refuses to run.  What's up?
