At the end of this e-mail is the script that I am attempting to run. As it is current written, the tsreader program will start and run, IFF the $LOG file is told to run. As can be seen, it is built as a SHell script.
If I comment out the ling that start $LOG and uncomment the line at the very end, tsreader is started, but it complains about not receiving what it is expecting for the tsreader_twinhan1030.dll source. The items it complains about are the last 5 values. Yet, as can be seen, that same command line is placed into the shell-script file and it works from there. Starting directly from the Z-shell file results in an error. I run the script from cron, which doesn't allow me to see the error GUI. When I run the crontan line by hand, then I see the tsreader error GUI. I've asked the author of tsreader if there is an option I can do that will create a log file with what it "sees" on the command line for options. I just sent that off before this e-mail. But, if anyone has a clue as to why starting of a Windblows program from a Z-shell doesn't work, yet from a shell-script, it does, I'd certainly appreciate knowing. Thanks.
