Willy - I agree with you to a point - the way AKCS appends file attachments to messages can be "abnormal" based on the way other bulletin board packages have a file area with the traditional downloading areas - but for the user who hasn't seen some of the other systems - I think AKCS offers a more logical choice. Couldn't you exit AKCS to a script and from there offer your users another way to transfer files? How about using the ELBS option as a file database? -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN uucp: root@nstar -or- ...!iuvax!ndmath!nstar!root
