  • More problems w/fastecho

    From Bill Gordon@1:123/22 to All on Wednesday, January 21, 2004 17:22:54
    Problem 1: (This one is making me crazy.)

    I use binkdwin (v0.9.4) to send and receive mail for my BBS, and then call upon
    Fastecho (1.45+) to toss the new mail.

    However, when it does, I get a message "NTDVM has encontered a system error: the parameter is incorrect. Click close to terminate the application." Then, I am given a 'close' button and an 'ignore' button. The system stops completely until I make a choice.

    The command line is exec "e:\ele\fe\fastecho.exe toss" *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th?
    *.fr? *.sa? *.su? *.pkt *.tic

    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what did ya do?

    Problem 2:
    I upgraded to 1.45x (DPMI), and when I try to run it, I get a screen that does nothing, no toss, no close. The febusy.0 appears and does not go away. Is there any more to this than just copying the included files into the directory and calling them when needed?

    I already recomended that you run from a batch file on that one.

    I don't use BinkD but I am using Radius on Win2K. I call FE from a batch file. The batch file call looks like this:
    %ARCMAIL% f:\bbs\tossmail.bat

    the Batchfile:

    === Begin tossmail.bat ===
    @echo off
    call f:\bbs\ele\startup
    rem that fixes the path
    f:
    cd \bbs\fe
    fastecho toss
    feutil import
    === End tossmail.bat ===

    Running 1.46pl1 here.
