    From Rick Smith@1:105/81 to All on Monday, July 18, 2022 15:35:02
    Hello All!

    so I was using a separate install of BINKD on os2 and I could receive in Dbridge but not send, I just tried running the executable binkdos2 from the dbridge dir and all of a sudden it could send out, however it locks up the machine and its unresponsive?? Hmmmm what to look at next?


    Regards,

    Rick

    I have not tried or tested D'Bridge on ArcaOS, which is why I wrote in the Readme that it may not work correctly on newer systems. It had been tested to work with Warp 3 and 4 a few years ago.

    I would try upgrading/replacing the BINKDOS2 executable with another version from whatever the BinkD repository is. I think that BinkD for OS/2 requires
    the EMX runtime library installed.

    It is not normal for an OS/2 process to lock up or crash the computer...

    certainly not critical, I am falling in love with dbridge, so I will poke around with it to get it going under ARCA,
