It was wonderful, and seemed very reliable. I don't        remember why I needed change. Now I am at 3.0.11. I think        it's the last version that works with XP.              But, having just loaded it up and take a look.. I see that it        has dropped ALL the ngs that I had Subscribed with rbb.bbs.fi.               :(              I am not sure that rolling back will help.              Something must be confusing in the .rc to fail? The        rbb.bbs.fi.rc file is about 260K in size. Trying to look at        it with Notepad++ caused an Explorer fail.                            --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.46        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 120/340 123/131 129/305 154/10 203/0 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 550 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 240/5832 249/110 206 317 400 280/464 5003 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
