   You mean that my suggestion (copy + delete) does not do that?

 JK> what is so hard for you to understand?

 JK> Oh, I forgot, you're probably running some homegrown version <g>

   You just can't help yourself, can you?

   I was the one person who started this project. I picked up an old German 
reverse engineered MakeNL that'd been ignored for several years. I cleaned up 
the code, removed a lot of outdated functions, fixed a lot of severe errors and 
finally made make-files for all known operating systems in fidonet.

   Needless to say, I'm interested to know how my baby is used. One of the 
things I find strange is that so many coordinators choose not to use the added 
security with <password>.UPD (or whatever extension), but rather the very 
predictable generic function.

   I guess I'll never get an honest answer from you -- but I *was* hoping that 
some other coordinators could tell me why they do it this way.
