      MSGID: 2:221/1.59 7b12d005       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: 0400       REPLY: 2:310/31.3@fidonet d8ca1554       Hello Martin,              On 26.05.19, you wrote..               AA>> Apparently sysop Paul Quinn (Australia) has recently used SemPoint and        AA>> placed a couple of "test" messages in FIDOTEST.               AA>> It might be worth a try to drag him in here and pick his brain.               MF> I've dropped a gentle hint ;-))              No having much luck with my JAM message base:               I was able to list and read and even post my own messages to my sample       FIDOTEST area, but today when I decided I'd like to delete a bunch of the old       messages, Sempoint crashed and produced this:              05/25/2019 07:19 PM 162,203 FIDOTEST.JDT       05/26/2019 05:07 PM 1,520 FIDOTEST.JDX       05/26/2019 05:13 PM 4,294,967,371 FIDOTEST.JHR       05/26/2019 05:13 PM 32 FIDOTEST.JLR              I originally created the set of jam files with Apoint. Copied them over to a       place where Sempoint would use them. I configured the FIDOTEST area manually       with Sempoint.. and voila, the messages listed fine. I even added a few of my       own messages as test posts.              So.. this is a BAD idea.              Meanwhile, I found out the SAME thing happens with an jam area created with       SEM! I can enter/post a message fine. But as soon as I go back to C)hange       the message (to adjust the subject, for example) ..the program goes ballistic       and produces a 4GB+ .jhr file!              The above problem does NOT happen with a Squish base.              If anyone can duplicate or verify this, that would be great.              Since Crashmail only supports jam or msg, this is not looking good for SEM       w/Jam + Crashmail combo.                      ../|ug              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Please write your complaint in this box [ ] - Legibly (2:221/1.59)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
