   Hello to all fellow PCBoarders!   
      
   I am hoping that this message base is in fact PCBoard support...   
      
   I am trying to resurect my PCBoard BBS and am having a little trouble   
   that i could use some expert help with.   
      
   I am running PCB on WinXP SP3. My file system is a Sata 2TB HD   
   partitioned into 4 500GB drives using NTFS.   
      
   PCB runs very well with multi node and fossil driver.   
   I am able to view my old setup including filesystem that was from my old   
   backup.   
      
   I am now trying to setup some new DIR files.   
      
   When i try and make an IDX file using "makeidx files.lst files.idx", i   
   get a windows error "NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction."   
      
   Error code is:  CS:07df IP:4ecb OP:ff ff ff ff ff.   
   All my files and directories are using the DOS standard ie: 8 letter   
   filename, 3 letter extention.   
      
   Should i be using a 16bit FAT filesystem or is NTFS workable?   
      
   Any help here would be greatly appreciated.   
      
   Thanks in advance!!   
      
      
   Sincerely,   
   Tom
