- I'm having lots of problems with WinChat (most recent version, 1.1 I think).
- Several different very bad things happen. When I try to initiate a chat,
- everything appears to be going fine, but if the session fails, it locks up and
- I can only escape by ctrl-alt-del in windows. If I then try it again, I get a
- different dialog box -- this one doesn't contain my list of targets or
- usernames and it appears in the top left hand corner of the desktop as
- opposed to the bottom center; when I try to enter them manually and initiate a
- chat, no windows appears at all, but the graphics in the area where the dialog
- box would normally have appeared become scrambled. If I ctrl-alt-del again, I
- get a cascade of GPFs in Wintalk and Winsock and then my mouse pointer
- disappears (though I can still operate windows manually). Once, Wintalk
- caused Trumpet Winsock to crash after I exited it -- Trumpet repeatedly
- reported an error along the lines of "TCP reentrancy ... " which just kept
- scrolling through the window. This continued even when I exited and then
- reloaded Trumpet. I'm running Trumpet Winsock 1.0a over SLIP and have had no
- problems with Trumpet Newsreader, Eudora, Cello, or wsfinger. I haven't seen
- any other reports of this problem -- any advice or sympathy would be
- appreciated!

- I have found a simple script for exiting Trumpet Winsock. Although the "quit"
