But 3 and 4 don't?              You may want to take a look at your source code then. Remember, you're trying       to work with BBS software from the 90s that hasn't been updated in 20+ years.              Regards,       Nick              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20151129        * Origin: thePharcyde_ telnet://bbs.pharcyde.org (Wisconsin) (1:154/701)    |
