Re: Upgrade from Version 5 to Version 9.5 - Help Again

by Robert <hockey@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 20, 2008 at 05:41 PM

Brad,

I saw that in the do***entation and the file exists. I have not idea if 
it is correct, but it is there. Strangely I cannot run the application 
if I use the newer DOS utilities that I installed on the server. It only 
works with the old version 5.0 that it came with. I am not overly 
impressed with the programmers talents at this point.

There is nothing in the batch file about BUTIL, so I will assume that 
BUTIL is being called from the bmmenu5.exe, which is being called from 
the batch file. Is there any debug utilities out there that I can run to 
see what is actually happening?

thanks again for the help.

Robert
