Well, a little more fiddling around and I got FifoBBS to run throught the CLI (no luck getting it to interact with VLT), but I still have some serious problems. I am getting all sorts of errors in the AREXX script itself. First, it complained about the line: SIGNAL ON FAILURE then later it complained about an unknown function call in the series of lines beginning with if ~exists(BBSusers) then call Makedir(BBSusers). I'm suspecting that I have an outdated version of AREXX. I have version 1.06. Is this the problem? And how do I get it to run through VLT? I've mounted FIFO:, initiated AREXX with a rexxmast command, started VLT and turned on the pipes. I then go back to a CLI and do a rx fifobbs local and it comes up with another of its errors and then asks me to log ion via the CLI. I could only get it to recognize the sysop account after creating all the FifoBBS: directories myself. If my problem is with an old version of AREXX, does anyone have a phone # or E-mail address for Willam Hawes and company? Any help is much appreciated.

That is indeed your problem. FifoBBS uses several features only found
in ARexx 1.10 and up, come to think of it. I guess that should have
been in the documentation... 8^) (By the way, if you're wondering why
my smileys look funny, it's because our IBM mangles the caret character).

That happened about 1.5 years ago. 617 will NOT work any more. > > Willy. ----- -- Larry Rosenman INTERNET: ler@lerami.lonestar.org UUCP: uunet!letni!lerami!ler BIX: ler CIS: 73547,3201 PLINK: LER GEnie: LEROSENMAN ATT: +1 214-399-0210 (Voice) US Mail: 900 Lake Isle Circle, Irving, Texas 75060-7709
