TF> I have never seen this error message. I wonder what is going on. No one else had ever seen it either, on any of the Lists I wrote to. Being such a Newbie, and interpreting the instructions to mean that all technical questions should go to TBTECH, I sent my query there and not to TBUDL. No reply yet to that Post. And I asked on the Rootsweb COMPUTERS-L. Searched Help <vbg>, the FAQs, the ARCHIVES. Finally in desperation I started reading the TBUDL welcome letter again. In almost 5 years of using this system, I have never seen that error message before. I have a 4540 Compaq PC with Pentium III and a 3.2 GB hard drive, of which 1.2 GB is in use. I have 32 MB of RAM. My OS is Windows 95B (a more stable revision of Win95--Maxim right away asked me what the B meant.) After awhile he got back to me and instructed me step-by-step how to enable the HTML mode. I was running it in Text. So I did it. No more "OS" error messages. Since the messages I was trying to open were from TBUDL, I did not understand why that would make a difference but didn't want to take up any more of Maxim's time asking for an explanation. But on 5 consecutive messages I got "Call to OS failed," and the messages wouldn't open. Being so inexperienced with The Bat!, I just deleted them. (Wish now I'd saved them.) I then closed the program, re-launched it, and it has continued working just fine. But I was afraid sometime it might happen again, with really important mail, :-), so I wrote to Maxim. RE the large file on which TB and Windows crashed last night: >>I could FWD the code to him or to Ritlabs if I knew how. >> Can I do that without opening the message again? TF> :-) Yes, you just need to send the folder. You don't even need to open TF> the message. Thanks, Thomas. I will set about doing that. :-) -- Mary ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
