Does anyone have a WORKING protocol.ctl file for the following protocols?
HS/Link
Puma
Jmodem
Tasy
My file command lines are working properly, but when a user uploads, it aborts 
at the end (a Maximus abort).  Something about not being able to open the log 
file.  Help....
Dave

 this user supplied a description with his bimodem upload "...", as you can
 see the ul.log was updated the Max.log has been updated. However there is
 no entry in the files.bbs for this file and Maximus was found crashed and
 had displayed the "Thanks for the upload" message.
 Any ideas as to why this happened? The Protocol.Ctl entry is exactly as
 exampled for an Opus Type protocol.
 Protocol          B) BiModem v1.24   Up/Download.

 Are you sure the "4" is the correct value for DescriptWord and not "3"?
 Can somebody in Vancouver save any replies to this since I'll be leaving
 Ottawa at end of January and will probably not see it till after I get
 to Vancouver, and get myself re-established. Thanks (Harry ?  Bob?).
