• Qwkpoll Problems

    Hello everybody!

    I upgraded to a47 for Windows 64bit. Now Qwkpoll isn't Polling anymore. I've check and re checked my settings but no help. Here's a look and the qwkpoll.log file

    ==== Begin "qwkpoll.txt" ====

    ==== End "qwkpoll.txt" ====
    Anyone have a clue to the problem?

    Thanks
    Richard

    Haven't looked at QWK in several years now, but the basic stuff is working under Linux/64 same version (2/12_. I never really used it between BBS, generally only for offline mail (Multimail mostly), which worked just fine from my AlphaTest Linux/64 system just now. That's one of the things to try
    out is the offline (O from message menu) and download the packet. Then see
    if you can list it with unzip -l name.qwk, just to see that works right.
    What you'll see is a lot of .ndx (Index) files, control.dat, door.id, messages.dat, newfiles.dat, personal.ndx, qlr.dat, toreader.ext, and a .RED.
    If so it's a pretty normal QWK packet. I know the Pi is messed up as usual,
    but Linux/64 seems fine (read some with the old multimail v49-2).
    Generally doing the offline QWK packet is the first thing to try when trouble shooting QWK, it shows you the basics are working. All quick packets should
    be readable via unzip or something pretty basic is wrong.
