Phil,
  The way to get around the problem is to use the AUTOMATED MAIL
SCRIPT... if you look in the SCRIPT directory you will find a script
file called MSI???.SCR in this file you will see that they use
$REPPATH and $QWKPATH or something like that... this is to put the
correct file in the correct place and do it automatically
I hope that this helps you out, I personally use the UPLOAD and
DOWNLOAD paths for this and I don't mind the added input for the
setups

I have been running Qmpro for Windows for some time now and haven't had any

I really like QMPro but I have had problems with it. This is the latest:

Why is it hanging anyway?
Is this a QMP problem or an OLX problem?

assistant: Hello Janice!
I love it too.
Probably are saved, unless you have to do a reboot.  Then they may still
be saved.  I have found that OLX wont save the replies until after you
exit out of OLX.
Don't know.  It could be several reasons:  1. What version of Qmodem Pro
are you using? Some of the earlier versions had a bad Pkunzip pgm built
into it.  If you have a version less then 1.50 Try this.  Select
Options, Then Packers, then un select use Internal Zip/Unzip.  Make sure
Pkzip / Pkunzip is in a directory that is in your path statement such as
dos or windows. I have also noticed that if I get a bad .QWK packet it
will freeze up OLX.  Try moving or deleting your .QWK packets and get a
known good packet and try that. (Long shot here) Check Options /
Directories and be sure your Qwk in and Rep out are set correctly
they should be for Qwk in C:\qmpro\download  and for Rep out
C:\qmpro\upload.  Also be sure your Work directory is set to something
like c:\temp
One last thing.  If you do not have version 1.53 look around and try and
find the upgrade patches.  You can get them from the Mustang bbs at
805-873-2400.  But being in Canada the Phone call may be pricy.  So if
you have Telnet you can reach them at bbs.mustang.com  If all else fails
net mail me at the address below with your address and I will send you
the upgrade patches.
probably OLX  But need more info to go on.
Such as what are you doing when it hangs?
What does it do when it hangs?
Your operating system  DOS, Windows?
Your computer? How much memory.
Good Luck

It also makes poor future sales.  If the competition continues to improve
their product and QMP drags there, then sales will go to the more advanced
product, thus a slow down in sales, thus less development and finely no
product.
So as can be seen it is a circle.
There is also something called Created Sales, like Windows 95.  Now everybody
out pushing sales there with a produce that ONLY works there.  Then someone
creates a product that in W95.  After you start the base and then add a
'locked in' product. the new owner is forced to remain in that circle.
Sales then drop for DOS, and on down the line till you have forced ALL of Dos
off the market and no more QMP for dos will be developed.
So if you want MS-DOS based products like QMP for DOS, SUPPORT DOS.

Th
I have QMPro-DOS and bought the QMPro W95 too.  I'm terribly
disappointed too. Hopefully they can improve it with updates.
Main gripes:
No terminal mode... (That I can find.)  I was trying to change several
settings on the modem and found I could not enter them from terminal
mode.
I knew there would be no OLX.  QMPro/WIN didn't have it either.  It was
sold SEPARATELY.
No conversion for QMPro/Dos Script files.
QmPro/dos would remember that last number called in a session.  If
you made a call, then pulled up the dialing directory again, the
highlight bar would be on the last number dialed. This is gone in W95.
That's all I can find now.  I was so disappointed, I setup the DOS
version to use through W95.

assistant: Hello Nathan, Well the qmodem dos 4.6 does have a log but i just do not
remeber what the file name is reason is because one day when i had
norton desttop for win which i drop when i got win 95 i was looking at
all the files in the qmodem directory and came upon the log you talk
about i was supprised at all the time i spent on the modem the file was
almost 3 months long so i deleted the file to get rid of the logs of all
my times and just reentered the file name. I will go and look right know
and see if i can find that file if i can i will let you now what the
name is. Well i just check my directory where my qmodem is and there is
a log  file in there mine is call QMODEM.LOG. I just look at it and it
tells me everything i did even if i download a file how long it took
also tells me how much time i spent on the modem to the bbs i belong to.
I do not know if it will help you but check where you have you qmodem
dir and see if there is a log file in there someplace. I just check my
qmodem pro for windows and could not find a qmodem pro log file in the
directory which i think is dum but what else can we get from a windows
program. I hope you do fine a log if not then they did not feel like one
was needed. Take care bye

I will check in to what you recommended. Well, the times it has hung
have been with two different packets from two different boards, so it is

I don't know what version it is. Oh hold on: 1.52 for DOS.
1. I am just typing my response and I'm hung.
