Hello All!

I almost have Irex\fe\proboard working. However I cannot send out mail and I believe it is a FE issue or a compression software issue. I remember under os2 using HPT/BINKD and couldnt unpack mail and it turned out to be the version of ZIP I was using. Here is the output of FE SCAN when I try to pack mail, and while it doesnt say anthing about an error all I get in my outb is either a .clo or a .qqq file and no pkt to send out.

I have a simple and easy work around.... I have for years had all my hubs just send *.pks and I also just send them *.pks and it's worked better than fine.

I'm assuming that you're getting your mail online and not dialup.

hubs just send *.pks and I also just send them *.pks and it's worked better than fine.

I may have fixed it... I found a older version of ARC for os/2 and now its packing. I remember having this issue with HPT\BINKD setup and it turned out to be the decompression so I thought I would give it a go and its working, thank you!

Regards,
