I used 2.0.0.24 on my XP system for a long time (as you might
be able to tell from messages in this echo if you go back far
enough). It was wonderful, and seemed very reliable. I don't
remember why I needed change. Now I am at 3.0.11. I think
it's the last version that works with XP.
But, having just loaded it up and take a look.. I see that it
has dropped ALL the ngs that I had Subscribed with rbb.bbs.fi.
:(
I am not sure that rolling back will help.
Something must be confusing in the .rc to fail? The
rbb.bbs.fi.rc file is about 260K in size. Trying to look at
it with Notepad++ caused an Explorer fail.
