subject: Spawnbbs.bat error caused havoc

 AM> I forgot to update something when updating Binkleyterm 
 AM> to 2.60 and Max was being called something like:
 AM> Max -s38400 -b28800 -p28800 -t15
 AM> resulting in the error:
 AM> + 08 Oct 16:35:45 MAX  Begin, v2.02
 AM> ! 08 Oct 16:35:45 MAX  FOSSIL isn't loaded
 AM> Which was difficult to track down.
that has nothing to do with the parameters (tho you realize that 28800 is a 
strange port to use =) ). You need to have a fossil driver loaded (bnu/x00 - 
dos, sio - os2) and active on that port.
 AM> Does anyone have a utility that can be called from a 
 AM> batch file e.g. just before Max is called, and capable 
 AM> of writing something like:
 AM> + 08 Oct 16:35:44 MAX parameters -s38400 -b28800 -p2 -t463 
 AM> to the Maximus log file? 
how about
echo + Parameters: -s%1 -b%2 -p%3 -t%4 >> max.log
that won't write the time/date, but you'll be able to tell because maximus 
will start right after that and put the date etc in. Exactly what are you 
trying to accomplish with this anyways?
ttyl, greg
