      Hello Kai!   
      
   14 May 21 12:20, you wrote to me:

    KR> Interesting approach.   
      
   It's the "Windows style" of doing things. I've just moved my whole fido setup   
   to a new drive on my Windows terminal server, now everything is under f:/fido.   
   And I'm typing this on my Mac, but in GoldEd+/W64, published as a single   
   window via RDP. The client needed to connect is Microsoft's own "Microsoft   
   Remote Desktop" which is natively available on Mac.   
      
    FS>> show stopper. This didn't happen before, but now I get this when   
    FS>> I try to get out of an Area on GoldEd running remotely on my Mac:

    KR> I'm not sure if that's a filesystem message or a msgbase issue. Do you

   Yes, the names match, and I do have full access with my user. It's quite   
   strange, I also initally had this when using terminal services with the   
   "RemoteApp" version of GoldEd. Seems to be working now, though.   
      
    KR> The msgbases are not multi access approved. If a tosser is active the   
    KR> area should be locked to prevent the editor to mess up the tossing

    KR> service remote app from above work? A service is running in background   
    KR> all the time?   
      
   There shouldn't have been any other running sessions, at least I'm not aware   
   of any. Very curious, indeed. And I've had GoldEd open in the past few days on   
   my node system while new mail came in and the tosser (Fmail) went to work. So   
   you're suggesting I should prevent that from being possible by using semaphore   
   flags?   
      
    KR> If all fails the last option would be a point installation on the mac   
    KR> that connects to the node on windows via mailer.   
      
   Yes, also an option. But I'll try some more with this (terminal server   
   RemoteApp etc.) approach. "How hard can it be", as Mr Clarkson uses to say...   
   -)   
      
      
   Regards   
   Fermin
