    The backslashes in the file name seem to be interpreted as escape characters and not as the directory/file name seperator.

    Is this on a linux system?

    Could be...

    Try a double slash \\ where you now have single slashes \ in your
    config file...

    Yeah that is what I first tried but them HPT complains about the \\... I need to find someone with a working config on os2 I think... I am probably missing something simple.

    Have you tried putting the path names between quotes? Or specify them in the linux way with / as directory seperator? Maybe husky does an auto convert for those to OS2 directory seperators?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    This is a klibc problem which can be "fixed" by setting UNIXROOT to a non-existing path.

    The better solution is to use watcom build of hpt or not to use
    arcmail at all.

    I have set unixroot in my toss.cmd , I have your watcom exe problem still exists, I will post my config.

    Regards,
