• fidoin/out returned 255

    From xbit@1:103/705 to All on Sun Jan 15 09:42:38 2023
    Just getting fido setup for the first time in years. I can send netmail and receave receive incoming packets. But when running FIDOIN or OUT i get a returned 255 error. What is 255 and a good place to start my troubleshooting?

    log snip:
    1/15 09:32:20a BBS Events Semaphore signaled for Timed Event: FIDOIN
    1/15 09:32:20a FIDOIN Running timed event: FIDOIN
    1/15 09:32:20a FIDOIN Timed event: FIDOIN returned 255

    Also has sbbsecho.cfg been replaced with sbbsecho.ini?

    I was having a pkzip issue w/ dovenet and it also returned a 255. fixed now (thanks DM) but could this also be an archive type pk issue?

    Unlikely to be the same problem, but your data/sbbsecho.log file should provide the clues you're looking for.

    If your OS is case-sensitive, I would check the case of the pkunzip
    executable and make sure it is in camel-case as it is in the example above. Otherwise, I would change my config to match the case of the executable and
    see what happens.

    The OS is Windows, so no, the case of "pkzip" or "pkunzip" doesn't matter.
