Within the past week QNET3.0 rel 6/19/93 has locked up when scanning for
outbound messages in the enclosed conferences.  Nothing short of reboot
seems to put me back in control.  This is the first trouble I've had
with Qnet.  Each time I got in trouble I went to Qnet and made the bad
conference LOCAL and repeated the scan. In each case this corrected the
problem.  I'm sure you'll agree that this is unsatisfactory for the long
run.

The BBS is running PCBoard 15.0 with pcb=/oldindex in the environment. I
also run PCBPACK with the /oldindex command line parameter.  I recently
put in the 7/15/93 versions of PCBoard and PCBpack but upon encountering
these troubles I regressed to 6/28 versions which formerly worked well.
The problem with CONTEST occurred after I switched back.  During the
period covered by this report, I have frequently run PCBpack /area:all
/update and it reports "no update necessary" for every conference.  I
have no trouble reading messages in local PCB mode in any of these
conferences.

I suspect you may come to the conclusion that there is something amiss
with the conference files - that is why I am sending them.  However, the
reason I send them to YOU rather than CDC is that the symptom occurs
when running QNET not when running PCBoard.  If you find some sort of
problem and want to blame it on software other than Sparkware, please
let me know so I can deal with the proper support group.  If possible I
would appreciate advice on how to correct the files so that I can put
these conferences back on line.
