Hello Pete and readers,
I thought that you might have been using a later version of 7plus than
ver 2.25 that I am using. The DOC file that I was reading was for ver 2.0
which I thought was the latest one that I had.
Anyway, after searching through some directories of the hard disc drive,
I found ver 2.17 executable and tried the -SYSOP option with a single part.
It worked OK, producing a metafile. Next I tried the same thing with ver
2.25, and that worked also. So then more searching for a later DOC file.
I found one in an archive file, extracted it, and it turned out to be a
2.10 DOC file. Doing a string search, I found the info re the -SYSOP
option on page 23.
There may be an even later version of the DOC file than 2.10 If anyone
knows of a later version DOC file, then please put out a bulletin to that
effect.

I think the ver 2.17 7plus.exe is not 26 years old Pete. My file has
a 12/02/1996 date and the ver 2.10 DOC file has Copyright years of 1991,
1992, 1993. It looks later versions of 7plus do have the -SYSOP option
even if it's not displayed in the short "help" info that you get by
running 7plus without any command line input.

In light of what I've found Pete, you might sending a later version if
you have one. Is version 2.25 the latest??
