- The Cellar Door's PROBLEMS and ANSWERS!
- ===============================================================================
- Problem:
- RBBS Always tries to write to LPT1 port when running it starts up causing it
- to crash! "OPENED COM PORT" is the only thing sent to the LPT1 port!
- Answer:
- RBBS thinks it is supposed to log all activity to the printer. If you can turn
- your printer on, then do so. If not, the try to toggle the printer off by
- pressing F3 as RBBS runs up. Also, run CONFIG and change parameter #52 to YES.
- ===============================================================================
- Problem:
- Sometimes when I chat with a caller, the ANSIChat mod does not activate!
- Answer:
- There are three ways that ANSIChat will not activate. First, you must tell
- RBBS you are using ANSI in CONFIG #16. Second, you must set a time in
- CONFIG #20 for the ANSI test routines. If the time is 0, RBBS will not test
- for ANSI from the caller, and therefore, deactivating ANSIChat. Finally, if
- the CALLER's modem program did not 'pass' the ANSITest, then ANSIChat is not
- active. Logic for this is if the caller's modem program did or could not
- 'pass' the ANSITest, chances are it wont be able to handle the ANSI intensive
- commands in ANSIChat. You can still FORCE an ANSIChat by pressing ALT-F10 to
- toggle between stock RBBS's chat and ANSIChat.
- ===============================================================================
- Problem:
- Occasional ERROR 14
- Answer:

- ===============================================================================
- Problem:
- Error 05 in RBBSSUB3
- Field Overflow
- Answer:

- information (5 character field before the category code).
