I'll let you know when the TMPC program files are online in the library.  I
think I'll also gather up all the utilities and place them in the same spot.  I
know for sure that TMPC will be placed in the BUSINESS category.
 
Protocol #1 and #3 differences affect downloading to a file, only.  Your screen
will look the same, or almost the same.  ALWAYS use #3 for downloading into a
file.  If you use #1 for downloading you will get a file "filled" with CRLF
characters and will spend MANY LONG hours taking them all out.  There are
reasons for all of the protocols, and I can't remove any, so the next best
thing is to discuss their differences and use as the subject comes up.  You'll
also find information in the library help files.
 
Although Portable 100 Mag uses TBBS as their host program, it's a very old
version; and I'm not sure about the condition of their computer.  To make a
long story even longer, autologon strings are insensitive to changing
conditions of the host.  It could be that you need to modify your autologon
string to suit thier configuration.  If you;ll relay exactly where it failes,
I'll make some suggestions.  -Rick-
