Hi Robin, I'm glad I'm not the only one who cares about the TCP/IP interface! I posted some questions a few weeks ago and got no responses. The biggest problem I have is that I can't reproduce good behavior with scripts that Patrick says should work.
I created my own version of chartlist.pl that fixes a few Perl related issues but still doesn't work right. Give that one a try and see if you can make it work. It's in the 'Sander's files' folder under the files section. http://tinyurl.com/yulc7h Sander Robin Lauryssen-Mitchell wrote: > > > Hi folks, > > Just starting to play around with TCP/IP control of CdC on Windows XP (SP2). > So highly likely that I am missing something! > > Connected to CdC via telnet (also tried Perl scripts) and get confirmation > back (OK! id=1chart=Chart_1), so far so good.
