Subj : and for a real question To : Elwyn Goldsbury From : Peter Knapper Date : Sun Dec 29 2002 12:50 pm Hi Elwyn, Long time no chat... EG> " 20 Dec 22:33:15 MAX Return from: "maxpipe.exe 3 zip -jk -b -4 d:\ziptmp EG> D:\Mail\Olr\node03\GENBOARD.qwk D:\Mail\Olr\node03\*.* d:\mail\olr\*" EG> 20 Dec 22:33:15 MAX Archiver error (errorlevel 255)" I can't be 100% sure (its been a LONG time since I saw that message ), but this rings bells with me regarding a SHARING problem. Is something hard configured to look for a specific COM port or BBS LINE no. somewhere? Or perhaps the BBS line no. is not being passed through. Good luck...........pk. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Another Good Point About OS/2 (3:772/1.10) .
