Disregard last message….for some reason i was successful at last
with another try in uploading…..but question remains for what goes in HOST
FILENAME? George
George,
That will be the filename as it is to appear in the forum. It is
limited to 6 characters.3 characters or less such as MYFILE.GIF. Any
more characters will be clipped off so that NAMEIS2L.ONG would become
NAMEIS.ONG. It doesn't need your path reference for your machine as
you are telling CompuServe how it will appear in the library here. I
think some software will default to taking the filename off the path
you give on your machine if that host filename is not filled in but
I'm not sure of that.
That May Be Part Of Your Upload Problem

Rollie…It sure is! I use CIM..1400 BAud rate…Most times i don't give an
extension in Host File. I have the latest update but i still
feel something is not kosher with my setup for i get disconnected at
the change of a command sometimes (eg. going from Lib to Message ) .I always
prefer to blame CIM being too busy with overload of lines and stuff. I wonder
why it annoys me. <g> Thanks Rollie for clearing up this area. I was never sure
about it's intent.
I lost my CIM Manual a long time ago in my attic somewhere..I did'nt seem to
care about it then but strangely i do now…would'nt hsve to
bother you people with trivia.
