Are Oevent and Oman compatible insofar as events manager and file composition 
go?
A few months ago I had to restore my BBS off of tape after a disk crash.  
Some of my weekly events just aren't happening automatically week by week 
anymore.
I have some events which are supposed to run every weekday.  If I go into 
Oman and do a DSD sequence and set the days of the week for the events, then 
they work fine - for the rest of the week.  But come next Monday, the events 
are all in lower case letters still - and they don't run....until I run OMAN 
again and reset the days of the week to caps, then they run again, for the 
week.
I didn't used to have to do this.
When I view the event file with OEVENT, it shows little "*" characters under 
the "=" sign in the header.  Thsoe asterisks mean the event has run for 
today. How do they get there even if the event didn't run today?
I am not sure what to do.  I've been using Oevent for 8 years, and for some 
reason, things won't "take" anymore week to week.  Some events, ones set to 
run every day, do work fine, but weekday only events or events like mail 
polls to specific boards that run only one day a week, won't "renew" 
themselves for the next week over the weekend.  What am I doing wrong??
