* EleBBS Support List

Hi Erich,

There seems to be no pattern to it at all!
If I set an event at 00:00 active all days it just doesn't display it and
shows NONE.
If I change it to 00:01 then it displays it but not for long.
Yesterday It showed 00:01 next event now it shows NONE after getting up in
the morning. I go into elconfig it shows the event is listed in it as I
entered it the previous day.
I use the same batch file and am also quite careful with the cd command to
make sure I am in the same path at all time to start elebbs from (root
\ele\).
The problem there is no real pattern to it but once it starts showing NONE I
have to use elconfig again and alter the already present event so it asks
for save before quit which I do.

Starting the elebbs again shows the event properly again.

This is weirdness :)

I'm sorry Bert but I am still in configuration mode at the moment. I am also

using Win32 too if anyone wants to know. So if there's a way to spawn the 
bbs somehow into a batch file, then that would be great. Maybe we could get 
the events to trigger that way, you think? I don't use a 56k modem because 
one was not included with my computer otherwise I wouldn't be asking this 
question now. If you want, I can include my batch file and you can point out

where I can fix this problem. Thanks. :-)
