I have the August 89 release of net.exe (KA9Q). It seems to want to erase the domain.txt file everytime I run net. Also, the ftpusers file does not seem to work anymore. Are there new file definitions? In the meantime, I have gone back to the April 89 release, however, It does not have the domain server support. Has anyone used KA9Q with Novell? An IPX packet driver?-- .......................................................................... . Mark Bramwell, VE3PZR . . . . The University of Western Ontario Bitnet: MBRAMWEL@UWO.CA . .

I open the domain.txt file in append mode whenever new entries arrive from a server to be cached, so unless there's something funny about your version of MS-DOS (or, if you've recompiled the code, something funny about your C stdio library) the domain.txt file should never shrink -- only grow. >Also, the ftpusers file does not >seem to work anymore. Are there new file definitions? Yes. All you have to do is change the backslashes (\) in the pathname field to forward slashes (/). I decided I wanted to keep the format of that file uniform across all the various ports of NET. Phil
