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

   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the code, removed a lot of outdated functions, fixed a lot of severe errors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 .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.
