- After releasing version 1.11 of Rafm I noticed that a lot of the
- difficulties experienced when first setting up Rafm concerned just a
- few common problems. I found myself answering the same question time
- after time so I thought that this file 'Common questions and answers'
- would be helpful.
-
- Whenever you have a problem, please try to find the answer in this
- textfile first before sending Echo- or Netmail!
-
-
- Q: Why doesn't RAFM notice the downloaded or uploaded files!
- A: You are probably using an external protocol (like DSZ f.e.). In
- this case you should check the path of the logfile you have
- entered in RafmEdit -> Protocols. Compare this to the logfile the
- protocol generates (most protocols use the DSZLOG environment
- variable). Make sure the logfile path is _exactly_ the same as
- the path pointed to by the DSZLOG variable (or, if the protocol
- doesn't use this variable, the path you have entered during
- configuration of the protocol).
- If the logfile path is correct, you should check that you've
- entered the correct scan-keywords and numbers!
-
-
- Q: Why can't my users use their cursorkeys?
- A: Assuming your users have ANSI or Avatar enabled (if not, cursor-
- tagging is disabled) the most likely reason is that their
- terminal software doesn't send extended key-codes. You can advise
- your users either to turn Numlock on or put their software into
- Doorway mode (if available).
-
-
- Q: The cursor-scrolling in the View Archive option doesn't work.
- A: It does work, but slightly differently to the normal tagging.
- Only when an archive contains more files than can be shown on one
- screen, can you use scrolling. Tagging the files inside an
- archive is done by first pressing [T] and then entering the
- number of the file which you wish to tag.

-
- Q: When is the next version of RAFM released?
- A: I don't know! Whenever it's ready I suppose... Seriously: I will
- NOT answer any messages of this type! I really don't know and
- even when I do, I won't tell you...
-
-
- Q: Whenever I log off, RAFM just returns to RA, why?
- A: Because you're logged on locally, and since you're only in a
- shell from RA to RAFM, you will always return to RA. Don't worry,
- whenever a user is online, it _will_ work!
-
-
- Q: I can't get the Super Speedy Fast and Easy protocol to work. Can
- you give me the correct settings?
- A: Besides the examples contained in RafmProt.DDD, I can't give you
- the settings of other protocols, simply because I don't use any
- other protocols.
-
-
- Q: When a user wants to download a huge free file via Bimodem,
- Bimodem aborts, why?
- A: It may sound strange, but this is because of Bimodem's powerfull
- options. Let's say you have the latest version of RA marked as a
- free file and your user has a registered (or hacked ;-() version
- of Bimodem. The user tells RAFM he wants to download RA and RAFM
- then increases his download limit so he can download the file via
- Bimodem. After starting Bimodem, the user immediately aborts the
- download and starts to download other files. He now has an
- increased downloadlimit and can download much more then his daily
- limit! That's why users can't download a free file via Bimodem if
- it's size exceeds their daily limit.
-
-
- Q: Can I become a beta-tester of the most powerfull, flexible and
- user-friendly filemanager ever?
- A: If you're a registered user, you can become a beta-tester. Please
- refer to the Beta.app file.
