- On my system I continuously run UUXQT while UUCICO is receiving files,
- at one point I accidentally ran the wrong UUCICO batch file, the one
- with UUXQT after UUCICO. When it ran, it had two UUXQT going at the
- same time. Then all of a sudden it starts
- Out of synch
- Out of synch
- Out of synch
- ...
- going like crazy on the screen. CTRL-ESC (os/2 system) and close
- the sessions with UUXQT going, and restart UUXQT and all was fine.
-
- Another thing that happens is when one UUXQT renames or copies the
- file to batch1 and batch1 is already there, then it stops and simply
- says...
- batch1 already exists, do you wish to overwrite existing batch1 (Y/N)?
-
- Then just wait for the other UUXQT to finish, come back to this session
- and answer Y, and you finish the last packet (when working on news).
-
- I've solved 98% of the problems by having two icons I run.
- one is UUXQT -crnews and the other is UUXQT -crmail. I can run these
- simultaneously to process news and mail separately.
