-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note this is a *GAMMA* release of Ezycom Packet Passwords and therefore 
it is quite possible that is contains some bugs.

I received the Specifications for Packet Passwords on Saturday April 2nd and 
completed all but the compressor auto-detection by Sunday April 3rd. 
Compressor auto-detection was completed on Tuesday April 5th after advice was 
received from David Nugent.  Finishing touches and the Docs were completed in 
the wee hours of Wednesday April 6th.

While I have done extensive testing to see that it works correctly, I have not 
had any other Sysop BETA test the program.  Nor have I had any of the Packets,
with a newly added password, processed by Packet Password-Capable mail 
processor to see whether it will accept them or BARF on them.

What I have done is use the program PACKPEEK v2.01 [FidoNet Message Packet 
Disassembler (C) 1987-92 MYR] to check the packets after EZPP has added the 
packet passwords.  PACKPEEK does not report any problems reading the modified 
packets and it also correctly identifies the newly added Packet Password. 
Thus, I assume there will be no problem with any mail processors, but I can't 
give any guarantees since I have actually tested it with them.

Ultimately, the only way to really test the program is to make this GAMMA 
release and let those Sysops who need to use packet passwords try it out and 
see whether it works ok or not.  I am confident that it will, but I am not 
making any guarantees.


Thus, I am looking for plenty of FEEDBACK on how well Ezycom Packet Passwords 
works.  Please send any BUG reports to me at
