This is a very tiny small minute program that doesn't fuss with
memory and doesn't sort and does it all by disk.
This is a rather kludgy, slow way of doing things.
But it's small.

here's how it works, in case you want to optimize it (pseudo code)

        open files
        rename datafile -> MINIPAK.$$$
        open new file -> MAILDOOR.DAT
        while not eof(old file) do
            read record
            if "deleted" then make entry "User deleted" else
            write record to data file
        close files

That's it.  It will may cause your disk to jump all over the place.
The real MailPack uses dynamic variables and sorts and stuff and
all in memory.
This is completely disk based and only removes deleted entries.

'nuff said!

your system.  I did not intend to release this in the first place,
so don't come crying to me if it breaks.
