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,

Rick

I recently started using ArcaOS and had the same problem. I was already looking for a solution in os2.ger...

I just found your hint about this problem and was able to solve my little problem.

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

Thank you! You saved my day ;-)
