I haven't installed any new programs in windows, nor any new modifications in the computer.

Non-native programs are attempted to be run using dosxtrn.exe (a DM> 16-bit DOS program) on Windows, which is not going to successfully run a DM> 32-bit executable (such as zip.exe or unzip.exe). That makes sense, but I didn't change them. I'll go back in and change them to just zip and unzip then, and try it. I guess I will end up removing the %. also when I give it a test. Seriously, I can't remember how long it's been this way with no issues. > >> I wasn't going to say anything, as it only happened once yesterday, but since I'm running 3.19c, it may be related to this issue. I uploaded 5 files to my bbs directory yesterday, and went back to check to see if it took ok, and picked up the FILE_ID.DIZ's ok. Everything was fine, then I quit and went back to the main menu, and did a "N" for new mail, and chose All, and it displayed all the new files I uploaded...I logged off, and logged back on, and everything did as it should then. I have not been able to duplicate it, but I thought I would mention it just the same in case it may be related to the other issue. > DM> I'm not clear... are you describing a newly observed issue here? > Yes, but only if you think it's related to the zip, unzip problem. As I said, I can not reproduce it, and it only happened once. It may have been just a fluke or something related to memory. I'm really not concerened at this point about it since I can't reproduce it. DM> I'm not clear: *what* only happened once? I don't see a problem in your DM> description of the scenario. Let's leave it be for now, as it only happened once. To put it simply, after I uploaded a few files using the ;upload command, from the "T" file menu, I quit the gile menu using "Q", and went the check for any new mail that might have come in, when I hit "N" for new mail, Then "A" for all, it listed all the new FILES I uploaded instead of any new mail. The only way I could stop it from doing this was to log out, and log back in. Hope this is clearer. As I say, no need to persue it, as it only happened once, and I can't duplicate the issue. The only reason I mentioned it was in case it was related to the issue we were having with the zip and unzip issue. Personally, I think it was a one time fluke. SysOp: C.G.
