  • Bink for OS/2 & *.cfg

    From Don Lowery@1:340/1000 to All on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 05:52:01
    Was wondering about the address for the most current version of the software.

    Have gotten D'Bridge setup in ArcaOS 5.0.4 & found it creates BINK.CFG. Being I'm attempting to setup TG/2 with FastEcho...would the *.CFG file from
    D'Bridge be usable with just BinkD?

    no, not unless you're using dbridge with it, too... the paths are a lot different...

    you can possibly run OS/2 binkd as a daemon with dbridge and it will update the
    config as needed based on dbridge settings... i think... i've never tried dbridge on the DOS side of OS/2, though... i'd bet that nick would know the answer, though ;)

    Never hurts to ask.

    Am trying to get away with running any DOS software because of the issue with windows opening up & suspending whatever is working with it. It's an issue
    Arca Noae know about...but haven't solved yet.
