Hiya.

I started using TWX 2.04 about a week ago. In that time, every time I close TWX 2.04 I get what amounts to a GP Fault, and I dutifully send the error to M$, hoping for something in return. Dr. Watson spits out an error log, but neglects to tell me in which of the 100's of folders he saved it too (sounds to me like a M$ joke to me).

anyhoot. I get the error whether I stop the program via: $X, or right-clicking the icon on the system tray. It occurs when all scripts -including system scripts- are halted.

The only thing I can think of that might be different on my machine than most peoples, is the ports I've been using to 'listen for connections on' is not the standard 23 (i.e.: 127.0.0.1 23), but: 1023 and 1086.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.


N.B. Much thanks to EP for working on TWX 2.04, I wish I had the know-how and smarts to do more than report a possible bug [V]

You will never know how much I hate that bug. You aren't alone, it's a common problem. I do believe EP knows about it.

Thanks for the input.

I'm still trying to find a work around. Sometimes, reloading the game dbase, or changing an option seems to work.


Thanks
