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.
