After loading the BT mailer screen and attempting to initialise the Com port the program exits.
In the log file:
+ 17 Aug 21:30:47 BINK begin, BinkleyTerm/Win32 Ver. 2.60
! 17 Aug 21:30:47 BINK No BOSS in the nodelist
! 17 Aug 21:30:52 BINK SYS00000006: GetCommState()
The documentation states,
Note that on Windows 95, you can't get a Win32 BBS to run under
BinkleyTerm with the standard command processor because comm port
inheritance (the ability of one Win32 application to pass a ``hot''
port to another Win32 application) doesn't work if there's a
DOS app (like the command processor) in the way. One way to use
the Win32 BinkleyTerm to work on Windows 95 with a BBS is to
install WinFOSSIL (a shareware driverwhich provides improved
comm support), and use a DOS BBS.
But at this stage I am not running a BBS nor attempting to pass callers via spawnbbs.
Do I need WinFOSSIL to run BT/32 ?
Thanks !
