- We all have trouble from time to time - but there is a beatiful solution
- to every problem. Always.
-
-
- PROBLEM: It keeps saying 'no drop file defined, running in local mode' and
- asking for my name before the game even starts!
-
- Solution: You probably are running START.BAT without any parms, and it's
- defaulting to node 0. Node 0 comes defined as 'local'. Some BBS
- types (I've heard Wildcat 4.XX) do not send parms to batch files
- correctly - a way around this is to run ANOTHER batch file that
- DOES run it correctly. Ie, run TEOS.BAT from the BBS and have
- it contain:
-
- cd \teosdir
- CALL START 1
-
- (this would load node 1's configuration)
-
- PROBLEM: My trader.dat file is screwed up for some reason!
-
- Solution: A backup is created nightly called TRADER.BAK, copy this to
- TRADER.DAT.
-
- PROBLEM: It's saying people are on that logged off hours ago!
-
- Solution: This can happen when the computers power is disrrupted or if TEOS
- is running in a window and you 'close it' without letting TEOS
- do its exit procedures.
-
- Just don't worry about it - at midnight it will figure out that
- the person isn't on anymore.
-
- PROBLEM: I get runtime error 203 when its loading!
-
- Solution: You don't have enough conventional memory free. If you use DV,
- try using QEMM to free some up.
-
- PROBLEM: It locks up when returning to the BBS. HELP!
-
- Solution: Use a locked fossil driver at 19200, 38400 or 57600. This will
- fix com routine freeze problems.
-
- PROBLEM: Seems weird under Win 95 - Why?
-
- Solution: Set idle sensitivity to LOW - You can do this by editting the
- PROPERTIES setting for you dos window.
-
- PROBLEM: I have a bug report, or problem not addressed anywhere in the
- this file! I want to bug you about it!
-
- Solution: Great, we love to get feedback! But please fill out BUGRPT.FRM
- and send/e-mail that. That way, we know more about your system
- ect, and don't have to prod you for that info later.
-
- If you do NOT use this medium, and instead say: "TEOS ain't working
- right, fix it", don't expect a helpful answer!!! <G>
-
- PROBLEM: I sometimes have erotic dreams about family members.
-
- Solution: Have not a clue. If you find out, lemmie know.
