Hello All.

<<Following up a message from Marc Lewis to Alan Ianson about Re: Even more questions! >>


 ML> What am I doing wrong? Irex has no problem seeing the entire BSO

 AI> I am not sure why it's not being sent. Is there a node line in your

 AI> I'm not sure if binkd is not seeing the outbound traffic, or if

 ML> It's evident that with me being in Zone 1, binkd either does not

 ML> I fired up Irex again, and it not only sent all the mail waiting

Here's the f@@@ing problem!

BINKD2KLIBC-ZLIB-BZLIB2.EXE <<<<<<<<WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!
BINKD2KLIBC.EXE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< BROKEN BADLY!

If that one got any worse, it would have locked up the entire machine. Not only can it NOT see the Zone 2 outbound files, it does not do the "printq" nor the "percents" and probably half-a-dozen other quirks.  What a FREAKING WASTE OF TIME!  In FidoNet terms "Excessively Annoying." 

Best regards,
Marc
