Hi gangue, xswap again.
Tried to automate the mail get and send again. Now this is a different machine, so it's not that! Tried in stages this time. First let's go for the dialler! arachne:dialler works no probs dials up and does what it is supposed to, then let's do it some more! Add in the pop3 command. Yeah, great, now it dials and goes off and picks up mail at the pop server. OKAY! let's add in the inbox. Try file:inbox.dgi and we get a nice inbox screen, BUT wait, it needs updated, it's loading from the local source obviously! No problem, try the refresh at the top of the screen, works FINE! What about making that automagic! add in the fatal word reload: So the command is now "reload:file:inbox.dgi" KERBLooeeY. Machine goes down tubes into endless loop and that old black magic line comes up "illegal xswap error at line 1691!" Tres digits required and tried all sorts of deletes, eventually binned the arachne install and re-installed 1.69 this time. What a bummer! More than a year after I pointed out how BAD this was for a newbie, and still not working! It used to work in about 1.48 or so! If there's a problem in making it work, either the entry in the asf help file should be changed, or the whole thing removed from the basket! Where's the marmite?
