The latest version is 1.15d.  You can find it on deltaComm's BBS

(www.delta.com and ftp.delta.com).

The scroll back buffer in the DOS version doesn't correctly capture ANSI
codes, which are used for a lot of the formatting you see on-screen. The
image file is a screen snapshot, so it is recorded correctly.

assistant: On 20.09.97 Bill Tracy wrote the following to All
in TELIX:
Bill,
provided you're using it, you should be aware, that the TELIX environment
setting points to your Telix for Windows directory. Take a look at your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file for verifying the value of the TELIX setting or simply
run the "set" command at the DOS prompt. Change it if necessary!
However, if you later want to continue in using TFD v3.22 you should reset
this setting (let it then point to your Telix for DOS directory) before,
otherwise TFD v3.22 might fail.

assistant: * Crossposted from: DR_DEBUG
Hi Everyone... sorry, but my hard drive died last weekend and I
threw an old 20MB parallel port HD on my Pentium. I knew the HD was
going for a couple of months now. Worse, it's less than 1 year old
and it's a Seagate 1.2GB.
Since I knew it was going to go out. I made a backup of my system
about a month ago. Unfortunately, out of 6 tapes, one ended up being
corrupted and I can't restore any of these to my laptop. And guess
what? Yup, the files I can't restore is my text files and my
archives from Fidonet.
So I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused anybody. I know
I have been slow in replying, but now I have no messages to reply
to. So if anything was important, please resend a new message.
Thanks!

about "modem config help" (edited)...
I am new to this conference so I have also missed earlier discusions
It depends on your connect speed, 33600 is rarely achieved, but your
3000 cps indicates that the installation is ok.
You hav'nt said if you are downloading or uploading.
One of my users, who downloads normaly, complained that he was unable
to upload with TFW v1.1a (registered), he was using the latest version
of WINDOWS 95 (97).
I checked with my system (WINDOWS 3.1) and then with several other
systems with various versions of WINDOWS, and I have found that all
can upload without difficulty when using 14400 modems and the ZMODEM
protocol, but all failed when using 28800 modems or higher.
We have also checked out TFW v1.15d (unregistered) and this exhibits
the same problem.
To get a reliable upload I found that it was necessary to force the
connect speed down to 9600, 19200 worked sometimes but was slower than
using 9600 connects.
All tests were with files larger than 200k, small files of 1 or 2k
seem to upload ok.
In every case, the users have no difficulty downloading large files
and the system works as well as TELIX for DOS.
If somebody can throw some light on this problem it would be greatly
appreciated.
