I installed EVLIS on my 1040st the other night and I need some help getting it to work properly. When I run it I get the message can't read back C:\tmp\w._e_ . In my setup file I set the temp directory to F:\tmp. There is no tmp directory on C:. Elvis works but after receiving the above message I must hit return to continue. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance Bill Oswald aloft!wao

I could not get ELVIS to work either, but I have been using the new STEVIE for several weeks with no problems. I ftped it from a site in Finland, and had nothing to do with the upgrade (just a happy user!). -- Mickey R.

I ftped it from > a site in Finland, and had nothing to do with the upgrade (just a happy > user!). I have been using ELVIS for some time from gulam and msh. You have to be sure that the environment variables: TEMP TERM and TERMCAP are set. for TMP I use n:\tmp. For TERM I use vt52. ELVIS seems to ignore the TERMCAP entry but it still needs to be set in order to work. I use c:\bin\termcap. BTW: c:\bin\termcap does not exist. Last night I pulled down the sources for ELVIS 4.0 from alt.sources and compiled them last night using MWC it it also works fine. However, the new ELVIS comes with some other programs (wildcard.ttp and some others) that need to be present in the search path.
