sounds good to me :)

yes, i went digging in there and have changed my code a bit more to use the FPC 
routines... i don't know if it is faster or not but it has reduced the 
complexity of my code somewhat... i removed a loop and three vars, altogether, 
as well as reducing two functions to one and use another routine to handle 
something i was doing via the character replacement arrays... for this i had to 
add sysutils and strutils... however, i still need to use synapse's synautil for 
the StringsTrim routine which removes empty lines from the end of the stringlist...

of course none of this helps with the need for the UnixUtil unit on OS/2 because 
synautil is still used internally in the messpart stuff i'm using from synapse...
