Invariably some bugs will pop up. Here's some tip on what to do.
Runtime error xxx at xxxx:xxxx
This error is being reported by Turbo Pascal. You can look up the
error number in MESSAGES.DOS to figure out what is going wrong.
Runtine error 100 at xxxx:xxxx.
If this happens at startup, your MSG.BB file is probably bad.
See if you have a BBOLDMSG.BB hanging around from the last GM command
and try renaming it to MSG.BB.
Runtime error 201 at xxxx:xxxx.
You found a bug. See REPORTING ERRORS below
Runtime error 202 at xxxx:xxxx.
This a stack overflow and is probably a bug.
Runtime error 203 at xxxx:xxxx.
You are out of memory. One usual problem is that you scrolled a window
forward and then left it. New lines get tacked on the bottom but the
old ones can't go away because you have the screen stopped.
Runtime error 209 at xxxx:xxxx.
Can't find/read BB.OVR.
Overrun
The RS-232 line to the TNCs dropped a character. This happens when
the computer gets so busy, it doesn't pull the characters off fast
enough. You will probably see one of these every few hours. This
seems to be normal. If you get a lot, you need to slow down the
TNC link and/or turn monitor off.
Timeout in block loop
BB did not receive anything from the TNC for 60 seconds. This can
be caused by RF or other noise getting into the RS-232 cables. Or
maybe your TNC died
Reporting errors
----------------
Please report errors. It may be my problem. Send a message to
AA4RE @ AA4RE.#NOCAL.CA.USA. Include:
1) The exact error message you got and whatever else weird
happened.
2) Your computer type and speed (example: AT clone 16 Mhz)
3) Your TNC layout (example: PK232 on COM1)
4) Your BB and MBBIOS version numbers.
5) Your DRSI software version # (if any).
6) Your G8BPQ software version # (if any).
If the BBS created a file called DUMP.BB, sent that along too.
You should at least receive an ACK from me.
