Niels, I had problems with AmiTCP v4.2 last spring.It concerned the bsdsocket.library not being found. Upon contacting NSDI tech support I was told that the bsdsocket.library is create dynamically by the AmiTCP binary when the program is started by the 'startnet' script. The startnet script uses the Arexx 'WAITFORPORT' command to pause long enough to wait for the bsdsocket.library to be formed and installed. Check and make sure that you have the 'WAITFORPORT' Arexx command in RexxC and check that your Shell-startup script has a PATH command pointing to the same or similar command dirs that your startup-sequence script points to. When you start a newshell it DOES NOT inherit the command pathways from Workbench; you have to set these Paths seperately in the shell-startup. This was what my problem was with the bsdsocket.library. Hope this helps. Pete, / / Flying the A3000 on AutoPilot 1.80 \/\/ from Durham,Ontario.
