JP>Hi everyone
Hello Janice!
JP>I really like QMPro but I have had problems with it. This is the latest:
I love it too.
JP>        I'm in the middle of using my OLX mail reader and it hangs.
JP>What has happened to the replies I have already worked on?
Probably are saved, unless you have to do a reboot.  Then they may still
be saved.  I have found that OLX wont save the replies until after you
exit out of OLX.
JP>Why is it hanging anyway?
Don't know.  It could be several reasons:  1. What version of Qmodem Pro
are you using? Some of the earlier versions had a bad Pkunzip pgm built
into it.  If you have a version less then 1.50 Try this.  Select
Options, Then Packers, then un select use Internal Zip/Unzip.  Make sure
Pkzip / Pkunzip is in a directory that is in your path statement such as
dos or windows. I have also noticed that if I get a bad .QWK packet it
will freeze up OLX.  Try moving or deleting your .QWK packets and get a
known good packet and try that. (Long shot here) Check Options /
Directories and be sure your Qwk in and Rep out are set correctly
they should be for Qwk in C:\qmpro\download  and for Rep out
C:\qmpro\upload.  Also be sure your Work directory is set to something
like c:\temp
One last thing.  If you do not have version 1.53 look around and try and
find the upgrade patches.  You can get them from the Mustang bbs at
805-873-2400.  But being in Canada the Phone call may be pricy.  So if
you have Telnet you can reach them at bbs.mustang.com  If all else fails
net mail me at the address below with your address and I will send you
the upgrade patches.
 JP>Is this a QMP problem or an OLX problem?
probably OLX  But need more info to go on.
Such as what are you doing when it hangs?
What does it do when it hangs?
Your operating system  DOS, Windows?
Your computer? How much memory.
Good Luck
Ken
