Help!
I have been trying out MD-2 and Thor since having to give up PINE earlier this
month.
At first MD-2 (un-registered) seemed to work OK, but after first few sessions
two severe problems cropped up, making it impossible to use. (writing this
with Thor)
A3000 030/25 2meg Chip/4Meg Fast. no other boards etc. Miami for TCP/IP
1. after starting "get Mail" program frequently just stops collecting mail and
will not restart. ex. window says there are 35 messages, and stops at 14
collected and 21 to go. rest of everthing else seems to be functional No
ryme or reason for how many messages will collect before failure, but repeated
attempts to get mail is fully succesful in about one of 4 or 5 attempts.
2. ANY and ALL attempts to read mail results in visit from the GURU (OK no
more GURU with OS 3.1 but same effect, CRASH and reboot.
Again - All of the above started for no apparent reason after first 3 or 4
sessions worked fine.
Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I've been running OS3.5 here since it was released (nearly two months
now), and have had no problems with it. This includes using MD2 everyday -
no difference in stability for that at all.
Which version of MD2 are you using? I'm using v1.3.20, along with
textinput.mcc 26.2 (07/10/99), vapor_toolkit.library 13.2 (31/10/99) and
CManager.mcc 13.5 (18/10/99).

Yes, doing that and then telling MD2 where to save its data worked for me.

I recently decided to install CManager properly, simply because MD2 now uses
it for the addressbook and it seemed silly having CM data without CM
installed. You might have to move the current data file (see below), but
it's possible that this will help.

Older versions saved it in the MD2 directory as "microdot.addressbook",
newer ones save it as "default.data" in the CManager directory you
specified.

Sounds like either the article counter on your server is being reset, or MD2
isn't exiting and saving the current status properly.

I'm not sure what is causing the problem - sounds like a possible conflict
between a part of MD2 and OS3.5. As I said, I can use it here with no
problems, so check your libs against mine above and update them if
necessary.

Which FS are you using on your HD? OS3.5 doesn't like some variants of
PFS3. Also, the CGFX software may need updating on your system if you
haven't already done so. However, I would have thought these would have
caused problems elsewhere on your system as well.
