Robert,

You were speaking of backups: I lost my BBS hard drive and went to my
backup, which was bad.  I was pretty much screwed except I happened to find
a backup of when I was running ProBoard.  If I hadn't found that backup, my
BBS would have no longer existed.

RW> seems to be working fine for me at the moment.

If you were running a "pre-registered" version, there is a very
commonly available one of 1.60d that crashes because it knows it's been
hacked.  That's why it won't work right under eCS.  I've used 1.60d under
eCS, but I found I've gotten better performance out of Warp 4.52.

Later,
Sean
