Subj : GoldEd+ v1.1.5 - not working on Mac To : Kai Richter From : Fermin Sanchez Date : Sat May 15 2021 02:03 am Hello Kai! 14 May 21 12:20, you wrote to me: FS>> I'll probably end up using something similar.

KR> Interesting approach. It's the "Windows style" of doing things. I've just moved my whole fido setup to a new drive on my Windows terminal server, now everything is under f:/fido. And I'm typing this on my Mac, but in GoldEd+/W64, published as a single window via RDP. The client needed to connect is Microsoft's own "Microsoft Remote Desktop" which is natively available on Mac.

This didn't happen before, but now I get this when FS>> I try to get out of an Area on GoldEd running remotely on my Mac: FS>> ***** FS>> Wait: /Volumes/bbs/msgbase/region30 is locked FS>> ***** FS>> Not sure what that is all about?

Yes, the names match, and I do have full access with my user. It's quite strange, I also initally had this when using terminal services with the "RemoteApp" version of GoldEd. Seems to be working now, though. KR> The msgbases are not multi access approved. If a tosser is active the KR> area should be locked to prevent the editor to mess up the tossing KR> run. I would look for other running sessions. How does the terminal KR> service remote app from above work? A service is running in background KR> all the time? There shouldn't have been any other running sessions, at least I'm not aware of any. Very curious, indeed. And I've had GoldEd open in the past few days on my node system while new mail came in and the tosser (Fmail) went to work. So you're suggesting I should prevent that from being possible by using semaphore flags? KR> If all fails the last option would be a point installation on the mac KR> that connects to the node on windows via mailer. Yes, also an option. But I'll try some more with this (terminal server RemoteApp etc.) approach. "How hard can it be", as Mr Clarkson uses to say... ;-) Regards Fermin ....
