I'm currently using WinFOSSIL 1.12. Callers can start door programs with no trouble, but frequently carrier is dropped when they exit the door. Is this a FOSSIL problem?

Bob Juge asked me the same thing. ;-) It's a relic from the time that PKZIP 2.04g was first released and allowed me to differentiate between the new and old versions. Just to be on the safe side, I changed the line in Compress.Cfg to read pkzip.exe. Still no luck...... I'm convinced that it's probably something very minor that I've managed to overlook in the conversion process. Take care, Lee Internet: leel@hal-pc.org ... Lt.
