Hello Paul! I've suspended my use of FrontDoor in favour of Binkley 2.59b. Please let me know if everything seems ok at your end. I can't get it to send NetMail yet, nor FREQs, but I'll overcome that yet... PS. I couldn't get BT to recognise any outgoing mail. It'd be sitting there, with Hold C:\FD\PACKET\ in my binkley.cfg pointing right at it. But it kept saying "No outgoing mail." It seems FMail doesn't build *.FLO files, and FD didn't need them. I could find no way of getting FMail to generate this file, so I wrote a utility that will do it for me (called, imaginatively "MAKEFLO.EXE"). Finished it at 0130 this morning. It looks in the outbound dir according to binkley.cfg, looks for all the files that are greater than 0 length, and writes a line into .FLO that contains a "#" character followed by the filename of the outgoing file. It also gets the and of the destination from the binkley.cfg file, so it runs without cmdline params or another .cfg file. Binkley DOSEN'T have any of these problems I was having with retries on my sending packets. So I've got my fingers crossed... Sea Ewes are round! Geoff. --- FMail 0.92* Origin: My Point Entirely! (Brisbane, Australia) (3:711/934.14) SEEN-BY: 640/305 711/934 @PATH: 711/934 |
