   Hi Gert!   
      
   -=> Quoting Gert Andersen to Jay Dickinson <=-   
      
   JD>Two questions: What version of ISA? Example mine is v0.992   
   GA> I have upgraded v0.993 to v0.994 and then to v0.994a   
      
   Ok you have three versions newer than mine. I am going to assume that:   
   1: you over wrote the isa.exe and the isa.ovr file on each upgrade and,   
   2: you ran the upgrade utility on each and   
   3: you ran isasetup on each upgrade.   
   4: you can play the game from a command prompt (ISA /L)   
      
   JD>And are you running ISA /M in midnight maintenance?   
   JD>That is how your *.rep is created.   
   GA>   
   GA> I try it but it just going gaming play and when I try choice 6 (do not   
   GA> really play, isa crash with a error by overlay error and stops, and no   
   GA> .rep file is been made.   
   GA> I have tried isa bot on my linux dosemu on a 64bit and 32bit system,   
   GA> and too on my win32 XP and the same happens no .rep is done and created   
   GA> after isa /M or /m.   
      
   Ok, on my system, anytime I see an overlay error, it is generaly an ems   
   error. However, not allways. (Door game programers feel free to jump in   
   here) ISA has the ability to run without letting the overlay swap to   
   ems by creating a file named NOEMS.    
   You do not have to use any parameters or anything just create the file   
   name in the isa directory.   
      
   GA> Both on my main system is it KFB and on secund system is it KS2 adn   
   GA> notiong is created.   
   GA> It is just saying not in any InterBBS playing.   
      
   Are you letting the isasetup create the nodes.ctl files? Does your   
   mailer see them and send the file to the other bbs's in your   
   group/league? What happens when you run isapack or isaunpack?   
      
   GA> I should maybe try a isa 0.992 to 993 and up after I have got a v0.992   
   GA> and created a test run with nodes.ctl nodes.cfg and isanodes.dat.   
   GA> This 3 fiels starting with the next node in the interbbs gaming but   
   GA> shopdl too have my self in too.   
      
   Gert, all of this is based off what my setup is/was. Again, you have   
   three versions newer than mine. These are just suggestions and you   
   should take care with them. I don't usually go backwards on versions.   
   They made upgrades for a reason. Speaking of they, is it still   
   "Minds Edge"?   
      
   One last thing, make SURE you have the correct *.exe and *.ovr file for   
   the version you are using.   
      
      
   ... Jay
