OK Rob, i finally figured it out: i had sbbsdefs.inc from ver3.00c, which
!includes errno.inc,  but errno.inc i had, was from ver. 3.00b, which did
not have line !global _ERRNO.  How it happened that i had such setup-
i don't know. Was installing ver3.00C UPGRADE on top of 3.00b.

To figure this out i had to fresh install both ver.3.00b and 3.00c
As i'm writing about this i want to ask if it's necessary to first
Uninstall the intalled version. Or it's no problem to install 2nd, 3rd
copy of Synchronet to other base directory, and then after uninstall
everything should be OK with original BBS installation.
In other words -does Synchronet use Windows registry for settings, or
every setting is in installed base dir, configuration files, etc..
I personally would like it be second variant.

Well thanks for the replies. Good to have a software, where author can
respond usually within 24hours. And asking questions is one of the
ways of quick learning. Don't you agree?

p.s. my BBS name change occured after original 'Byte's Hell' sysop
visited (now he's a CoSysop). I was thinking of changing it anyway.
Now should be more understandable for foreign users ;)
