Hi.
I have appended a small text file that explains what Winpack users need
to do.

===================================================================

FBB7.00 and Winpack
===================
WINPACK users need to add the following to there \WINPACK\PACKET.INI
file. In the [FBB] section ammend or add the following line:

SPLIT_SESSIONS=TRUE

Also with v7.00, if you intend to forward mail in to the BBS, they will
need to be authorized by the BBS SYSOP. To do this, the Sysop need to
add an F to the users profile with the EU command.
