Hello All.
<<Following up a message from Marc Lewis to Alan Ianson about Re: Even more questions! >>
ML> What am I doing wrong? Irex has no problem seeing the entire BSO
ML> directory structure; surely there's something I'm omitting from or
ML> have written wrong in the configuration file(s).
AI> I am not sure why it's not being sent. Is there a node line in your
AI> config for the destination node?
AI> I'm not sure if binkd is not seeing the outbound traffic, or if
AI> binkd doesn't know what to do with it.
ML> It's evident that with me being in Zone 1, binkd either does not
ML> recognise the configuration line for that node, quoted below, or
ML> some other bizarre circumstance is preventing it from either
ML> sending or receiving from that node.
ML> I fired up Irex again, and it not only sent all the mail waiting
ML> for Zone 2 but received a TON of .pkts from that node which had
ML> apparently been waiting for the last 2 or 3 days since I tried
ML> running binkd exclusively.

Here's the f@@@ing problem!
BINKD2KLIBC-ZLIB-BZLIB2.EXE <<<<<<<<WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!
BINKD2KLIBC.EXE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< BROKEN BADLY!
If that one got any worse, it would have locked up the entire machine. Not only can it NOT see the Zone 2 outbound files, it does not do the "printq" nor the "percents" and probably half-a-dozen other quirks. What a FREAKING WASTE OF TIME! In FidoNet terms "Excessively Annoying."
