Hello All.
While we'er at it, the latest Mario/Hagar Adept version as of
30 Oct 97 11:30 cst is:
                       adu278b.zip
By the time you get this msg, it might be 279 =)
To follow up on what I've stated earlier today.......
ReadMe.Txt CUT.....
===================== cut ====================
>278b Update
1. So ends the experiment of the older set of dll's, while they fix the
   telnet zmodem problem, giomt.dll is too unstable to use, it traps
   randomly when a user drops carrier in a door or in chat, so this
   archive contains the set that works here. Telnet downloaders
   (adept telnet, not vmodem telnet) will just have to use xmodem
   instead of zmodem if they wanna do downloading, at least till we
   can (if ever) get the SOURCE CODE to the GIOMT.DLL and fix it.
>278a Update
1. Corrected a trap condition when using bbswatcher threads and a user
   dropped carrier, it would sometimes trap in giomt.dll, this has been
   corrected.
2. Included a new cserver.exe, recompiled it with the same headers used
   adept to resolve some inconsistincies in the structures used by cserver.
>278 Update
1. Worked on the startup sequence some more, was still hanging nodes on
   large systems.. lets see if this works ne better.
2. A bug has been reported in GIOMT.DLL, this bug causes zmodem downloads
   not to work when a port is set up for adepts native telnet, Included in
   this archive are a set of dll's to fix this problem. Backup your current
   dll's first then put all these in place.
==============================================================
You see this has always been THESE Freeware Programmers drawback.
They were given OLD CODE in bits/pieces.  NOT all of it at that !
They have in most cases had to bring Adept up to speed, THEN fix
ALL the BUGs they were given !  They are still missing much of the
puzzle.  In my opinion, they are doing a GREAT job.
We now have to BEST "Adept", we have ever had !
MAY I suggest.  If you Dl an UpGrade, read the ReadMe.Txt.
IF your Adept is running stable and there, is NO change in the
readme.txt that affects your system, then wait for the next
version !
          Just don't get to far behind.=)
