    Even though I ran it from sbbs\exec and pkzip was there it must be calling it from somewhere else. Soon as I added a path to sbbs\exec it packs it. Go figure lol

    If 'pkzip.exe' isn't in your search path, then that's not going to work. See http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ctrl/sbbsecho.ini?view=markup for the detailed "zip" archive configuration for SBBSecho. We've been using info-zip instead of PkZip for a *very* long time now.

    Thats the strange part. It definitely was in the path. I added a path statement again even though it clearly showed that it was in the path and it worked. It probably doesn't help that the bbs os is still windows xp. Not sure if newer versions of synchronet will start having issues with such a dated os?

    Understandable. I disabled 1st Choice Core from WhisperNet. Thank
    you for the time you've spent on the network. You're welcomed back
    if you decide to change your mind. I'm in the process of getting it
    worked on again.

    You're welcome and you're certainly welcomed back at any time. What was the main reason why you wanted the WhisperNet network disabled? If I understand it right, it's because of the lack of activity. I had been undergoing some changes on my machine and not all the nets were enabled. I've double checked that all the nets that are hooked up to WhisperNet are getting a feed and that they are enabled. Also, I plan on getting the echoes more active and that too.
    Anyway, keep me in the loop as far as what you decide to do.

    Take care,

    yes lack of activity, but not from your side of things, my side is was
    what I was tring to say, sorry for any mis understanding about that
    part. like reading the messages but not good a posting so lack of activity.

    I hope the changes on your machine go well.and your plan to the echoes more active
    I might keep a eye on you bbs (QWK), to see how you going with your plan, might change my mind but I will keep you in the loop.

    Ah, so there weren't people on your BBS participating in WhisperNet. That's unforunate. I hope more people are more active on the network.

    I'm going to try to at least post 2-3 messages a day in the different echoes to see what happens. Hopefully, again, there will be more participation.

    I haven't participated much in WhisperNet in recent years because in the past, it seemed to be taken down, put back up, and changed hosts a lot. I seem to remember I used to get WhisperNet via QWK, then I had to set it up via FTN, and then it changed hosts, etc.. And often that seemed to happen without warning, so I didn't even realize I had stopped receiving WhisperNet messages until I activitly looked at the echos or checked my BBS logs, etc..

    I've been on several message nets, and there have been just a couple where the host BBS went offline and disappeared. WhisperNet is the only one I've seen that keeps disappearing, coming back, and switching hosts all the time..

    I haven't participated much in WhisperNet in recent years because in
    the pas it seemed to be taken down, put back up, and changed hosts a
    lot. I seem to remember I used to get WhisperNet via QWK, then I had
    to set it up via FTN, then it changed hosts, etc.. And often that
    seemed to happen without warnin so I didn't even realize I had stopped
    receiving WhisperNet messages until I activitly looked at the echos or
    checked my BBS logs, etc..

    you just described every msg network i have been a part of since 2001. gatornet, all those ibbs game ones,my fidonet feeds. i forget all their names but everyone's flakey

    I've been on several message nets, and there have been just a
    couple where the host BBS went offline and disappeared.
    WhisperNet is the only one I've seen that keeps disappearing,
    coming back, and switching hosts all the time..

    My experience was the same (with Whispernet). I'm currently
    linked to about 8 networks and all of them are solid and reliable.
