- Did you set the extra enviroment commands? Is there a User directory for
- root with a join file? (probably not the last two...but>>>) Is there
- a temporary directory in the location where the pointer points? If
- you left the "J:\temp" intact, then you had better have a drive "J"
- (either RAM disk or real disk).
-
- One problem I found with this program, is that while most of the
- scan pointers are reset to the last message downloaded, a few groups have
- their pointers reset back to the first message that exists in the group.
- I've tried to isolate out the problem, and the closet I can fiqure is that
- in the groups that this happens, the ones and tens digits of the highest
- message is lower than the ones and tens digits of the lowest message....
-
- IE: 479-556 would reset the pointers to 479
- but 520-590 would reset to 590
