Hello All!

I have finally sorted out the calamity of errors I was having getting proboard
to work with ArcaOS and got it ^functioning.  I started to invest sometime in
it and setup fidonet which I have to do by hand unless any of you know of#a
way to import a BACKBONE.NA or the like into PB?  Anyhow I entered about 25
message areas by hand into PB and most of the areas work with a couple of
exceptions.  It seems the first time a particular area gets mail the msgbase
dir shows  it correctly, the second time an area gets mail it changes the file
name by shortening it, in most cases like below.          ENGLISH_.SQI
(INcorrect) 
          ENGLISH_TUTOR.sqd (Correct) 
          ENGLISH_TUTOR.sqi (Correct) 
          FDN_ANNO.sqd (INcorrect) 
          FDN_ANNO.SQI  (INcorrect) 
         #FDN_ANNOUNCE.sqd (correct)         #         #FDN_ANNOUNCE.sqi
(correct)         #         #

This is just a couple that it does it to. The areas this happens to displays
no messages when You try to read that #areas.  Clearly there are some messages
there just not able to view.

Thoughts what could cause this?

Regards,

Rick
