-- Two problems have been noted in earlier posts concerning the HandShake2.20c release. The first was incorrect interaction with xprzmodem2.1. The fix for this was indicated to me by Eric Haberfellner. The problem was a bug in the utility for converting old parm files to the new format. The fix is to generate the HandShake.parms file from scratch from the HandShake2.20c menu. After doing this, xprzmodem2.1 worked correctly. The second problem was intermittent crashing when dialling from the phone directory. It looks like this was simply a stack overflow problem. I have had no further crashes after setting the stack size to 8000 in the appropriate icons. The above holds for a B2000 running WB1.3.2. Norman Iscove iscove@utoroci.bitnet --

After doing this, >xprzmodem2.1 worked correctly. Not for me! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I feel that perhaps the fault here is not with Handshake. >The second problem was intermittent crashing when dialling from >the phone directory.

I have this problem also, but I never run handshake from an icon, always from a CLI, and my stack is set to 8192 bytes at all times. >The above holds for a B2000 running WB1.3.2. But not, apparently, for an A1000 running WB1.3.2. I am unconvinced that the fixes you describe are actually final solutions to the problems you (and I) experienced. But thanks for posting your article anyway. >Norman Iscove iscove@utoroci.bitnet -- _ |__ Alex Matulich /(+__> Unicorn Research Corp, 4621 N Landmark Dr, Orlando, FL 32817 //| \ UUCP: alex@bilver.uucp <or> ...uunet!tarpit!bilver!alex ///__) bitnet: IN%"bilver!alex@uunet.uu.net"
