I have no reference to verify this, but I believe it is telling you the transfer was cancelled by one end or the other. Perhaps your connection wasn't too good and too many errors had been received such that the other end cancelled the transfer. ... * OLX 2.2 * When will I learn to leave well enough alone? --- RBBSMail/386 v0.997 * Origin: Morrow-Macke - Hebron, OH (1:226/1420.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 192 TELIX Ref: E5Y00000 Date: 05/28/97 From: JACK HUDGIONS Time: 01:13am \/To: LANCE REYNOLDS (Read 1 times) Subj: Where are they?

SIMPLE is -- well, it actually looks a lot like Telemate scripting. (: CSS works by taking the easy-to-understand SIMPLE code and turning it into SALT. A registered copy of CSS can be told to make a .SLT file of the code as -well- as the compiled .SLC file. So, you've got really SIMPLE code constructs, -and- their SALT work- alikes. Makes things much easier, I've found. I actually had to -do- that once, early on, trying to understand exactly how to code tracks. The SIMPLE track workalike is 'Whenever'... Oh, if it helps, SALT syntax is basically C's -- you might acquire "C For Dummies" if you don't already know C. Asher Densmore-Lynn --- ~ BW/TLX ~ 4am? Already?
