Hi All,
Since getting QWKRR128.V1.0  I've been kinda "beta tested" the prg &
have come across really "1" problem.
This seem's to involve the "control.dat" file that come's with the
mailbagg.
Now from what I can see Some(wildcat bbs's and other's) don't add some
type of control info at the end of the "control.dat" file.

Now when looking at the control.dat file(with an asccii txt
reader/editior) you see at the begining-
bbs name
sysop name
a number and bbs name
date & time
your name

Now, after this you see all the msg. area's that your bbs carries in
this format-

101
cars
102
tele
108
pets
and so on,now the problem start's after all the msg. area's are listed
along with the welcome,new's,and goodbye.ans there's supouse to be
some control info that's just not there!

Now,how do we fix this problem?

By adding the following lines (by apending this to the end of the
control.dat in accii)

0

YOUR NAME IN CAPS
Your Name with CAPS for 1st letter like"Erik Randolph"
Khhhm
000-000-0000
914-877-6813(put your ph.# here)

this-

So There you have it,I'm not sure if this is the problem that a few of
you guy's/gal's but,if you after looking at your bbs's control.dat
file find that the info is missing at the end of the file ,appened
with the info provied it should WORK!!!

With that out of the way,Now all of ya can start stroking my
ego,patting me on the back & So on!!(BIG EVIL GRIN!!!)

Any question's???????
Any other idea's?????

Any Comment's?

Good Luck!
