Believe it or not, I think that runtime error is due to one of the syntax
bugs in the distribution.  I found this, but I seem to remember there might
be more:

1. In SEAL.INI (SEALINI.DAT in distribution pack) in line

        FileSpec=";FileSpec %20t %3a %3l %d

     trailing quote is missing, making SEAL.INI corruption while using SEALCFG

2. In SETUP.INI in line

        EchoSpec=String,":EchoSpec line","%t=tag %a=access %l=locks

     ":" should be replaced with ";"


You shouldn't need the runtime 200 fix, if you're able to use the EXEs at all.

You can also edit SEAL.INI with a text editor and run SEAL UPDATE
afterwards to update the binary version of the CFG, rather than using the
SEALCFG program.

You might want to compare the lines in the [EchoFeeds] block to see what's
different between the working line for Bob and other line for whatever
address the gating software is originating from.  Each of the elements of
the line is documented in the comments above the block.
