  • wcQWK

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to All on Thu May 28 13:04:54 2026
    I am trying to get wcQWK to work... but NO GO.

    I have the latest version of wcat... and its not working.

    I I downloaded the file *.qwk and run wcqwk and nothing... Subdirectories are all in place. The qwk file does not get unarchived... I go to said subdirectory and manually un-archive the file and it does so...

    with this new archiver that comes with the new version of wcat is suppose to spawn a window correct?? It doesn't do that.

    Ideas??

    Do you have wc7z*.* in your wildcat home directory and do you have your environment variables set right?

    try setting wildcatserver= to the hostname your WINS setup is on.

    I have to jump to an other computer... I'll check and I'll change the environment/path to include \wcat directory.


    try setting wildcatserver= to the hostname your WINS setup is on.


    can you add a few more words here so that I may look that up??!!

    thanx
