I sent the following almost a week ago, but it hasn't appeared, so here it is again, FWIW. (BTW, I've just tried checking DL's LSPPP page to see what version is currently posted there, but the server complained that there had been too many downloads and that the page would not be available again for 2 hours...) :
---- Actually, DOS _does_not_ convert command line arguments to upper case ... perhaps your compiler does this? Although it is unusual for DOS applications to have case-sensitive command line switches, it is not unheard of, there is no secret here. As for the original problem, I don't know if loading LSPPP high is an issue. I don't do this myself because I fill my upper memory with other stuff that is loaded permanently. So I have plenty of conventional memory left for loading small transient TSR's like LSPPP. OTOH, I know some people that do load LSPPP high, without any problems. The one thing I know that does cause problems is the "/z" logging switch - DON'T USE IT! Garbled "usage" information in some recent alphas of LSPPP, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, was caused by writing console output directly (via BIOS?), rather than via 'stdio'. This has now been fixed (see below:-). The main problem I had, starting with LSPPP 0.75, was an LCP bug which prevented me logging-in to my ISP. I know that other bugs were fixed in 0.75 and the 0.76X alphas, but I don't know their details, since they didn't seem to affect me (0.74 worked fine for me). So, the good news is that, with the permission of David Lindauer, I have posted LSPPP 0.8 at "http://jds-freeware.hypermart.net";. There you will also find my LSPPPCFG package, to make integration with Arachne as easy as possible, along with some other stuff. Enjoy!
