- MESSAGES->MISC->EXTERNAL EDITOR->
-
- Enter here : EZYEDIT.EXE -N*N <*M>
-
- The -N*N is NOT optional and MUST be passed to specify the
- node number to operate from. Where *M is an optional Memory
- swap. This may be necessary where you're running a multi
- line bbs or multi tasking.
-
- THEN YOU MUST SELECT under
- MESSAGES->MISC->USE OLD MSGTMP-> NO
-
- NOTE : Failure to set this to NO will result in saved
- messages being returned as aborted.
-
- o EzyMac
-
- EzyMac is an EXTERNAL DOOR PROGRAM. To run this, you
- simply use a Menu Type 7 Dos Exit.
-
- EZYMAC.EXE -N*N <*M>
-
- The -N*N is NOT optional and MUST be entered to specify the
- node number to operate from.
-
- The *M is once again optional, depending on the amount to
- ram available, this may or may not be necessary.
-
- The menu option would look like this.....

- Problems / Troubleshooting
- ----------------------------
-
-
- Problem : EzyCom doesn't load EzyEdit, and returns with
- "MESSAGE ABORTED"
-
- Solution : Place a memory swap *M on the command line. The
- command line should then look like :
-
- C:\EZY\EZYEDIT.EXE -N*N *M
-
- Problem : EzyEdit loads but when I save a message it says
- "MESSAGE ABORTED"
-
- Solution : Ensure that the config option
- -> Use Old MSGTMP is set to NO
-
- Problem : I don't like the text colour...
-
- Solution : Either use the sample colour menu that comes with
- Ezycom or build your own using menu types 71.
- Now you and your users can configure the editor
- colours to be whatever they like.
-
-
- Problem : EzyEdit doesn't operate on lines other than
- line 1.
-
- Solution : Ensure that you specify -N*N on the command
- line.
-
- Once again the setup should be as such.
-
- External Editor -> C:\EZY\EZYEDIT.EXE -N*N [*M]
- Use old MSGTMP -> NO
-
- Where *M is optional.
-
- Problem : The user macros have been corrupted.
-
- Solution : Delete the files EZYEDIT.UMF, and EZYEDIT.FFI.
- Then run EzyMac again to create new ones.
