Yes, just sit's and spins

 DM> Okay, here's an example (to birthdaylist.js):

 DM> log("Loading birthdays.js"); // added
 DM> var list = load({}, "birthdays.js", month, day);
 DM> log("Loaded birthdays.js"); // added

 DM> So when run 'jsexec birthdaylist' here with those added log lines:

 DM> Reading script from /sbbs/exec/birthdaylist.js
 DM> /sbbs/exec/birthdaylist.js compiled in 0.00 seconds
 DM> Loading birthdays.js
 DM> Loaded birthdays.js
 DM> 45 Vertrauen users with birthdays in May:

Ok, i put the log lines in as you suggested, and the problem seems to be in
birthdays.js, as it tries to load birthdays.js then it locks up. see log output below. It never got to the second part.

  5/17  03:47:39p  Node 1 <DesotoFireflite> Executing external: ?birthdaylist
  5/17  03:47:39p  Node 1 <DesotoFireflite> Loading birthdays.js 

Seeing this, I tried to jsexec c:\sbbs\exec\load\birthdays.js, and it did the same thing, locked up, curser sits and spins.

I just don't understand why the program worked flawlessley for months on end, then stops on the 12th with a new user logs in. Also, I checked, windows did an update late on the 12th also, just discovered this today.

As always, thanks
