Hello to all fellow PCBoarders!

I am hoping that this message base is in fact PCBoard support...

I am trying to resurect my PCBoard BBS and am having a little trouble
that i could use some expert help with.

I am running PCB on WinXP SP3. My file system is a Sata 2TB HD
partitioned into 4 500GB drives using NTFS.

PCB runs very well with multi node and fossil driver.
I am able to view my old setup including filesystem that was from my old
backup.

I am now trying to setup some new DIR files.

When i try and make an IDX file using "makeidx files.lst files.idx", i
get a windows error "NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction."

Error code is:  CS:07df IP:4ecb OP:ff ff ff ff ff.
All my files and directories are using the DOS standard ie: 8 letter
filename, 3 letter extention.

Should i be using a 16bit FAT filesystem or is NTFS workable?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!


Sincerely,
Tom
