Hi Folks: Who could give me the address of the developers and vendors of AdvanceLink? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I would like to ask from them some undocumented details about 1. font libraries, 2. character conversion procedures. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3. I have to solve a strange problem: Our HP3000 GX is connected to a remote PC via AdvanceLink. The connection is going very well on 9600 baud, if the HP send data to the HP, or the user commands the HP from the ":" prompt, or the user fills VPLUS screens and sends the data in block mode to the HP. The mysteries begin when an AdvanceLink script sends a command line to the HP. The command arrives frequently distorted to the HP. Examples: - The script composes a "hello user/pw1.account/pw2" string and sends it to the HP. The string arrives as "hullo user/pw1.acount/pv2" ore something like that, and the user gets an unpleasant refuse message. - The script includes a "&dscopy" command. Instead of the "RUN MONITOR PUB.SYS" line appears "RUN MOMITOR.PUB.SZS" on the screen. The user gets the ":", she type in the correct "MONITOR.PUB.SYS", and the transfer is executed, but the remaining steps of the command script is flushed. - If these steps are accidentally executed without error, the last step of the script is a UDC call, "KORBE I,5" which is distorted in a similar random way. I was accused with programming errors and forced to reinstall the AdvanceLink from the original diskettes because this error arises in a certain software environment. But I echoed the lines before the their sending to the HP and they were intact. And we have several other PC terminals where this kind of error has never occurred. I suspect that the lines from a command script are sent to the HP a bit quicker than the commands typed by the user or sent in block mode. The terminal is far from the PC, we have a long log of communication errors. Now the error is not so coarse that the simple hardware tests could point it, but there is a slight disturbance from an other computer or something like that. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

There are 3 kinds of programming errors: syntactical, semantical and mystical. The programmers have to suck up the users just as much as absolutely necessary.
