    Hi Shawn,

    I use Tide here with no problems but then I do not quote large
    messages. How "large" are we talking?

    I also had no problems. It's an issue that I just can't track, some users could totally bring tide to it's knees locking with a rte.

    Could it have anything to do with the VM you're running it in?

    Could you please send me the IceEdit package so I can test it out
    here? I can't find it anywhere.

    It's old. :) I'll send it over later today.

    Not received it yet... but there's no rush. I know you're busy at the
    moment.:)

    As I mentioned before, Nick Andre has the latest "shareware"
    structures. I have had a look around here but don't seem to be
    able to find them. Put them in a "safe place", don't ya know!!
    :)

    I think I have a copy now,

    I found a copy of the structures I sent Nick if you want them.

    I've found the difference between a real MSGINF and the new style msginfo.x. I'll write a quick hack by the weekend. ;) I did
    manage via an update to my batch file to get Iedit working.
    I'll send you the whole package when I'm done.

    Ok. I'd very much like to see it.

    Cheers ...

    I wouldn't think so. If that's the issue is very VERY poorly written software. ;) I think it's something on the users end sending a command that is
    causing TIDE to crap itself, since it's only 2 users and both are using some weird dos setup.

    Not received it yet... but there's no rush. I know you're busy at the moment.:)

    'Aint that the truth. Will try to do that right now before I forget.

    I found a copy of the structures I sent Nick if you want them.

    I've got something, but to be 100% sure yes I would love a copy please.

    via an update to my batch file to get Iedit working. I'll send you

    Ok. I'd very much like to see it.

    I believe I sent that to you in my previous email. :) it's only about 20 lines of code and it works a charm. Now I'm adding some more features to it so
    I can run a selection of editors. :)

    Hi Shawn,

    Sent it...

    Got it and thanks!

    No worries.

    Yes, I received that but from the above, I thought "the whole
    package" meant a little bit more. :)

    Well I'm improving it and making it easy to configure now. When it gets to a point that my wife can install it then I'll write some docs
    and send it over to you.

    Can't wait to see it :)

    Cheers ...

    I'm back at square one with editors.

    For some reason TIDE 1.11 locks up when /SOME/ users quote. I haven't
    been able to figure out what the difference is. I have used both
    Syncterm and Mtel for Windows, and Syncterm for Linux and have no
    issues quoting / posting large messages etc.

    Before I jump ship to a different BBS package to get around the darn
    editor issue... Can anyone please tell me where I can get the newest
    up to date structures, so I can write a fix program for the weird way
    Ezy is using msgtmp / msginfo.x etc.

    Thanks,
    Shawn
