Write your reply.

assistant: A patch to upgrade QMWIN to Version 1.11c is now available. However,
you MUST have version 1.11b already installed. If you don't, then it's
necessary to patch version 1.11b (AND it's HELP file - a separate file),
before the patch for v1.11c will work. All these files are available
from the GO MUSTANG forum on CompuServe; perhaps on other On-Line
services too?
   Version 1.11c is well worth the upgrade to those who have had
problems with the "b" version - and it has some new features that you
may find very useful.
   NOTE: If you're having problems with the FAX operation from QModem
         for Windows, be sure that the QMWIN.FAX file is copied to your
         WINDOWS directory!

Write your reply.

assistant: Dale, I know you aren't the originator, but you expressed the same problem.
The default set up for QmodemPro should have been setup such that Hangup=DTR.
To fix,  Bring up Qmpro.  Type Alt-Z, the Config, Device, highlight the modem
definition you are working with, then type Cfor cmds.  Alt_H should be set to
DTR for Data Terminal Ready. This should force your modem to hangup.
Hope this helps.

assistant: In a message to Fred Hall, David Lanes said:
I don't have the list of changes here with me, but it wasn't much going
from "b" to "c".  There were a few good ones from "a" to "b" though.  I'd
keep installing them as they come out, because Mustang has the habit of
releasing patches that only do incremental updates (ie. one "step" at a
time) so if you get too far behind, you'll spend a couple hours applying
patch after patch, then recompiling scripts.
I'm pretty sure you have to apply the "b" patch, then apply the "c" patch
to your new "b" version.

assistant: HAHA I love this... While you are at it..
ask for it to read bluewave packets! there are so many places using them now
and bluewave can use QWK but OLX use bluewave? nope.
And in the meantime they could allow you to put a netmail
address line in the message so you can netmail from
an offline packet.
  Or a real biggie...
  GET RID OF THAT 15 CHARACTER ADDRESS LIMIT!!!
I can't send internet mail to half the people I know
from offline... their address simply will not fit
in the little box!
  or another... For crying out loud give us the option
of longer than 150 lines!!!! I _know_ some fido
and other echo's cut you off at 150 but alot of places don't!
and on the internet a normal message could run you
200-230 lines and you totally miss out on the rest even
if it was included in the qwk packet!
  If I didn't get it free I swear to god I would never use
OLX, it is never improved, it is inferior to just about any other
mail reader out there and infuriating to use.
   If they could fix some of this stuff OLX could be one of the best...
