Hi Paul



 RM> ³ Port:  4294940160 Co³ Good/Cost: 0/0



 PE> Ok, after extensive investigation, I think the problem is caused

 PE> by a nodelist entry of 38400 (if you have a look at the nodelist,

 PE> you'll find that no system is listed as > 9600).



 RM> Not exactly life-threatening, just thought you'd like to know.



 PE> Yes, I would like to see it fixed.



 RM> While I'm at it, why does it say "M'Task: T-View" when I'm running

 RM> *D*esqview??



 PE> T-View is an alternative multitasking method to Desqview, from

 PE> observation of the code.  Binkley checks for T-View or Turbo Vision

 PE> or whatever it stands for, before checking for Desqview.  It gets a

 PE> match on TV, so chooses that.



Odd. An earlier version of bt that I used (possibly 2.3?)

definitely identified Desqview as D-View. I use BT2.5 EE Beta on my

local bbs, and it says T-View.



 PE> You have the source code, and you have borland, and the code compiles

 PE> with Borland.  Can you recompile the entire thing under Borland, and

 PE> then use that, to see if it still works.  If it does, then can you

 PE> make the following change:



 PE> In line 142 of nodeproc.c, change 300 to 300UL.



 PE> I expect that this will fix the problem without you having to change

 PE> your baudrate, but it's only a theory at this stage.  I haven't even

 PE> attempted to run Binkley under DOS to see if the problem is

 PE> reproducible here.  BFN.  Paul.



You scum. I thought I'd be able to make it through life without

ever using a C command line compiler. You've just wrecked a

lifelong dream. Happy?



Compiled ok under BCC 4.02, although I had to borrow the TASM from

my BC3.0 area cos I hadn't installed it in the 4 area. Ended up

with files somewhat larger than the ones in yr zipfile. Adding the

300UL altered BT.EXE size a bit too:



          Your original  BC4.02    BC4.02, 300UL



BT.EXE	     231,582     242,208     242,224

BTCTL.EXE     26,642      45,650

BTLNG.EXE     23,726      44,468



I'll attempt tonight's connect with BTPE305_300UL.EXE and see what

happens.



Cheers
