No, I had not heard anything from anyone about that situation.  I don't
really understand what an ntvdm error is.   Daryl Stout had been using
Synchronet software on his bbs and testing my programs under that BBS for a
long time, but he's changing over to a different bbs software now. He's
using Virtual Advanced now by Steve Winn.  I have not heard a thing from
the creator of the ANGEL toolkit in a long time.  Its possible that this
ntvdm is occurring due to something inside the ANGEL processes, which I
have no control over.

One of the problems with ANGEL is that it doesn't have any kind of module
that gives you data after a crash on what causes RTE's to occur. But I see
no future in using DDIGM since there is no one anywhere to go to for help
with it, or with DDPLUS.  As far as I can tell, there  seems to be no one
any more who actually supports pascal toolkits for the BBS programmers.  At
least I never see any messages on the subject in this and other BBS
programming related echoes on Fidonet.

I've finished work on the Ruined Castle igm, but won't get it into
distribution until Sunday afternoon.   If you'll send me an email
address to use, I can send you my igms's source code if you think you could
use it to track down the cause of the crashes.   I frankly
don't have any real idea what bbs sysops are still around who both use
Synchronet and are Lord programmers.  I imagine you would have to be both
to figure out the source of this kind of program crash.

And thanks Jason for being nice and not lambasting me for anything.   I
really appreciate that a lot.  Donald.
