PE> I checked every single one of your messages in today's packet, and PE> they all came in and went out. PE> I have file-attached RODOUT.ZIP (the arcmail bundle on it's way to PE> Dave tomorrow), and RODOUT2.ZIP (the arcmail bundle on it's way to PE> Bob tomorrow), so that you can see what the output looks like PE> yourself. Thanks for that, so far no major dramas. One blemish is that the error checking in the BAT files in TinyPoint leave something to be desired, mainly when say it just runs out of drive space. That can result in a total loss of the new mail, gone for good since its not that easy to get point mail again. In my case no problem at all coz I never let an untried system have its way with my mail without a safety copy, but it could bite someone who just used it without precautions. I did get a problem in what appears to be in PKTJOIN yesterday. Combined 3 files, one large, two tiny. That appeared to work ok thru to the QWK. OLX extracted the PERSONALs fine and I replied to them fine too. No luck whatever actually reading any messages in normal areas, complete crash back to DOS by OLX, complaining about a virtual memory error. That went away by just redoing the originals in two sets, one with the two tiny archives, the other large archive by itself, producing two QWKs instead of one. Havent got back to comparing the PKTs generated to see whats wrong with the bad one. I am using Brentons MAKEMAIL and SENDMAIL BATs but use FD to actually do the mail run. PE> The only question mark hanging over the bundle is the "AREA: xxx" PE> problem. People have been using PQWK for some time, and their PE> messages have been getting out (passing through my squish system). PE> Now they will be passing like that through Dave's squish system PE> instead. I expect them to get out without a problem, but you might PE> want to check their arrival on another board. Actually, I have a PE> better idea, I will send a message in AUST_AVTECH myself, saying "did PE> you receive these 10 messages???" addressed to Bill Grimsley. Just PE> have your future messages generated by PQWK200. Yeah, managed to forget to update that yesterday and sent out another bundle with 199. I have fixed it now, so thats done here. --- PQWK200* Origin: My Point Exactly (3:711/934.2) SEEN-BY: 640/305 711/934 @PATH: 711/934 |
