 Help Needed Setting TER500 Up On New Com 
 17 Mar 16 23:10:04 
 
Hello World!

It's been a very long time since I have seen a message here,  I hope there is
still activitiy.

I need some advise resetting up TER500 on a new computer.


I reciently built a new dual boot comptuer Windows7 / WIN XP Pro I need XP to
be able to run TERMAIL and also one other program that will not run under
anyting other than DOS.  Windows 7 does not have a DOS enviorment and does
not support these program.

I had no trouble move TER500 over the the computer, (have not tried BINKD
yet), TER500 runs but when I start it I get the message "ERROR Finding archive
program PKZIP.  I press enter and it says "WARNING no mail can be packe for
user 1, press any key.  Next I get the blue screen which starts the mail
tossing but give me the option to delete the packet because the mail was not
extracted.

Answering no I go to the read screen where I can read the messages in the
areas.

Now this XP setup is the same as the other just on a new computer.


The PKZIP and PKUNZIP files are located in the ARC directory like on the other
computer.

How do I tell TER500 where to find the packer and I guess the unpaker?

Please help so I can get to using the new computer!

Thanks


Al
