Thanks Chuck,

I appear to have guessed that part correctly. However, I may have bombed 
out in believing that spattach was "ready to go".

Upon close inspection of kissattach.c I find that a change as per 
/.../6pack.txt hasn't been implemented.

So, for my next question, if I make the change and recompile kissattach, 
and rename it spattach, can I still use the original kissattach for KISS 
applications?
