Has anyone experienced problems FTP, in or out, with the latest (1.53)
WinQVT/Net?
The previous version worked fine. FTPing in (SEND) to the server opens the
destination file on the PC but never writes to it, you're left with a zero
lenght file. With MSEND it just hangs on the first file. GETs from the server
seem to work.
Using the FTP service MGET can't open destination file,but GET works ok.
Anyone else? Am I doing something wrong. I've been very happy with WinQVT/Net
up to this (I even registered).

In a previous posting I complained of FTPing problems with WinQVT/Net 1.53.
According to grantk@manta.nosc.mil, who has the same problem, the rcp server
seems to work so that may be fix for some of us.
Although the label on my reg. copy says 1.53 it is in fact 1.54 and it is even
worse. It gives the UAE message when any session is closed. It is unusable.
The machine must be cold booted to clear the packet driver.
The only glimmer of hope is this message found on comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibm ...

Subject: Follow Up - Another Problem with WinQVT/Net
Summary: New Version Solves Some Problems
Some of you may remember me posting about some problems I
was experience with WinQVT/Net. The problems centered around
two items:
1. Closing a telnet session would yield an Unrecoverable
Application Error (UAE). Seems some other folks also
received UAEs after a certain period of inactivity.
2. FTPing to the pc would yield a file size of 0 bytes
and would hand WinQVT/Net. I personally didn't experience
this problem, but several people told me of this problem
through e-mail.
Yesterday, I received the latest version of WinQVT/Net in the mail.
Today, I installed 1.6 on my machine and tried the following:
news reader
telnet (single)
telnet (multiple)
Everything seems to work just fine. With V1.6 I do not get UAEs
when I close a telnet session. Also, the news reader looks to
function just fine.
If you were having problems with WinQVT/Net, I strongly suggest
you install the new version (if you were registered) or find a
copy of it. You might look in cica.cica.indiana.edu for a copy
of version 1.6.
As an aside: after I experimented with 1.6, I went back to 1.5
to see if the same problems were still there. They were. Looks
like 1.5 was the source of the problems (or at least it exposed
dormant bugs).
Looks like the WinQVT/Net problems is taken care of. Now,
if we could just resolve this little flap over PC-NFS 3.5. :-)

SOLUTION: Get Version 1.6 of WinQVT/Net. I know it exists because I received my copy of it in the mail last week. (It pays to be a registered user.) I haven't checked the usual archives, but I'd expect a copy of it to show up at cica, SIMTEL20, etc. If you can't find it on cica, let me know. I will upload the shareware part of the package. (Sorry, it wouldn't be fair if I uploaded the 800x600 screen fonts for WinQVT/Net. They were the reason I registered.) > Conor Nolan Phone: 772941 (X1741) Damn, you have a long .sig While we are on the subject, I'll repeat the question I still haven't found an answer to: HAs anyone found a way to contact the authors of WinQVT/Net (QPC Software) by a means other than US Mail? I have asked this question several times and, each time, I get a few "me too" responses. So far, nobody has been able to offer an electronic way to reach them. The search continues... -- Cal...

This message was in the first batch that I've gotten from my feed, and just happen to have the answer. Let's see, box, edit, Paste: Pam Arnold 76676,1420. That, of course, is a Compuserve number, and with any luck, and a little deamon in oHIo, you should be able to reach them. Good Luck!
