 ML> yeah... the problem is that that local path should not be being 
transferred...  the remote side has no need to know anything about your local
paths...

Thats what I thought too...

 ML> did you see my other post about using a different protocol than hydra? the 
 fault could be in there... tell your argus to use something other than hydra
and see what happens...

yes, I did - I just read that - havent tried it, might be an option. I might
try this Taurus that you mention first though...

 ML> FWIW: argus was the first in the "ART" family... then came radius... it is 
a  drop-in replacement and fixes numerous bugs while adding a few features...
taurus is the latest one... it is a drop-in
 ML> replacement for argus and radius... 
 ML> it also fixes bugs and brings even more features...

 ML> you don't say what version of argus you are running but a newer one might 
have  a fix for this bug... perhaps it would be an idea to try radius and/or
taurus,  too...

So, I'm running on Windows 7 - 32 bit (in a VMware VM). Nothing special about
this install - I'm not a windows person (and this config is only so I can play
with dos doors and sbbs in windows). The install of Windows is pretty much
vanilla windows from the ISO - updates disabled (but has SP1) - and BBS
software. (Their may be 1 or two other things on there - git, pgp, nomachine -
but thats it, I dont use it day to day...)

I'm running Argus, as obtained from SF - Help -> About says 3.210 March 26,
2001.

I've tried pulling Radius - which I too obtained from SF (4011 and 4010 files
from memory) - expanded the zip files in a directory - but Radius does not
start, no visuals, no icons, nothing.

Its doing something - because the directory becomes busy (stopping me from
deleting it) - unless I log off and on again (dont recall if I looked at task
manager to see what).

I recall the first time I tried it, after a long time - a window popped up with 
just ?????? as text (I'm guessing it was rendering russion, but since no
language is installed, it gets question marks). I had two buttons to push, and
pushed the default one, but nothing. Thereafter, I cannot get that window to
pop up to try the other button.

I've even copied the Argus config files (I read that in a readme somewhere) -
but still nothing. I gave up a deleted it. (The only upside was the help
worked, which doesnt in Argus.)

I'd be happy to give Tarius a crack - I did know of it, so if you have a ready
link please share :) otherwise I'll go a googling...
