oh neat! i've never seen one of those... i don't currently carry
EASTSTAR or STATS but i do have a few other areas that contain large messages... they must not be large enough to trigger the fault...

Message must be larger than 64k in size.

It's definitely along those lines. (Pun intended. :)
I tried to push through a 2000+ line message (roughly 101.8k) from a point setup into FIDOTEST and FE hiccupped with the infamous error message. (BTW, FE throws it/them into the BADMAIL defined area.)

Was the message in badmail complete or truncated (I'll look there next time).

They are the most common ones I see by far..

Keep in mind that the OS/2 version does up to 512k messages; well
above what any other fido software can handle, AFAIK.
i have a direct connection with the eastern star... i'll see about hooking into EASTSTAR and we'll see what happens...

Because it is OS/2 version. We are talking about DOS version.

It was mentioned before, that non OS/2 versions have maximum
message buffer size limited to 64k.
It was mentioned before, that non OS/2 versions have maximumi can see this problem with the DOS version, yes... however, the DPMI
message buffer size limited to 64k.
and WINdows versions should be like the OS/2 version and not have this problem...
well above most known fidonet software, yes... i'm aware of several packages to disk based swap files when it runs out of memory that it can process in..

DPMI version has the same limit as DOS version (I wonder why).
And there is NO windows version.

Can you list a few...
I Always thought that was a Y2K issue.
I noticed you had a beta tester sig on your post..
Is FE still in production or was 1.46.1 the last.

and i hate to bring it up, yet again, but... if coders were to actually follow the specs, we'd not be having these "problems" with message sizes... fidonet specifications specifically allow for large messages
via use of the phrasing "message body unbounded" ;)

Not a bad idea, although I'm sure that slows things down a bit.

Yes, the specs have always said that, and almost nobody ever read
that part! ;-)

So, much like most DOS stuff (TG, maximus, ext.) it's
discontinued.

oh, they read it but they didn't pay attention... instead they
interpreted and/or assigned their own specs... that is and always has
been the downfall of hobbiest coders :( sadly, i, too, am one of
those... at least until i don't know how many years ago... since then,
the code that i've written has endevored to follow the actual specs as
far as it could... the really troublesome problem that i've faced, personally over the years, is how so many terminals and users could be handled by machines with only 64K of RAM and yet, today, it takes a gig
or more of RAM to barely service just one miniscule user :(
That was back when programmers took the time to conserve resources,
because at the time RAM and disk space were EXTREMELY expensive.
My first computer (an original Tandy Color Computer) came with a
whole 32K of RAM, and used a cassette recorder to save/load programs.
I remember how exiting it was when they finally came out with a
floppy disk drive for it.
my memory of this is ~10 old and it is hard to remember things from that far :(

Wasn't it though! Funny how things have changed, and that wasn't
really that long ago.

My first computer was given to me with a morse code program so I
could learn the code and get my amateur HF license, an 8086 with
512K, two 5 1/4 inch floppy drives and a 2400 baud modem. I did get
my HF license too although I never used it much, but I've been
modeming ever since.. :)
