Users frequently have a problem with trying to download posts using the /Z
function that is built into WWIV.  The pause is not disabled and in the middle

of zipping the file the [PAUSE] is indicated but the user can't see it, as

such it appears that the BBS is locked up.

Load BBS.C and search for 'void mainmenu'
In 'void mainmenu' search for '/Z' and replace that case with this one.

  if (strcmp(s,"/Z")==0) {
