- !PROBLEM 1 [ PROBLEM REMOVING WORK DIRECTORY ]
-
- CRITICAL PROBLEM DEVELOPED REMOVING THE TEMPORARY WORK DIRECTORY.
-
- ERROR CODE: %1
- WORK DIRECTORY: %2
- STARTUP DIRECTORY: %3
-
- PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE WORK DIRECTORY. TRY NOT DEFINING A WORK
- DIRECTORY.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 2 [ PROBLEM CREATING WORK DIRECTORY ]
-
- A problem occurred with creating the defined temporary work directory
-
- Error code : %1
- Work Directory : %2
-
- Do you have enough disk space?
-
- Did you try to create a work directory on a RAM drive?
-
- Solutions:
-
- 1) Check the disk space where your work directory is defined.
-
- 2) If you have a work directory defined, please blank it out and try
- Xpress again.
-
- Xpress will ALWAYS create a work directory called WORK from the defined
- a work directory. Xpress will always clean and delete the work
- directory it creates.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 3 [ PROBLEM ALLOCATING MEMORY FOR FORUMS ]
-
- A problem occurred when Xpress attempted to allocate memory for host
- conferences or forums.
-
- Error code : %1
- Available Memory : %2
-
- The HOST has alot of conferences and Xpress enough memory to work with.
- Xpress will try to allocate memory on RAM first, then EMS, then on DISK.
- If it fails in any of these attempts, you will get this error.
-
- Solutions:
-
- 1) At the mail door, go into the configuration options and turn ON
- the option "SEND SELECTED AREAS ONLY". Some mail doors may the
- opposite option, "SEND ALL AREAS", in which case you would turn
- it off.
-
- 2) Use the protected mode version of Silver Xpress.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 4 [ NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE ]
-
- Xpress has calculated you do not have enough disk space to decompress
- the packet you selected.
-
- Mail Packet : %1
- Mail Packet Size : %2
- Disk Space : %3
-
- Xpress multiplies the packet size by 2.3 to determine the minimum amount
- of disk space require. It is highly recommended you have 4-5 megs
- available of disk space if you plan to download 1-2 megabyte packets.
-
- Solutions:
-
- 1) Check the disk space on your work drive. Clean it up by deleting
- unnecessary files.
-
- 2) If you are using a RAM drive for your WORK directory, make sure
- the RAM drive is large enough to accomodate the decompression of
- the mail packet.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 5 [ PROBLEM DECOMPRESSING FILE ]
-
- A problem occurred during the decompression process of the packet.
-
- Process Command:
- %3
-
- Dos Error code: : %1
- Expansion Error Code : %2
-
- Please check the following:
-
- 1) Decompression program is located in the DOS path directories. Check
- to see the decompression program is fully qualified if you have the
- "CHECK PROGRAM EXISTENCE" set to off or no under configuration.
-
- 2) You are confusing PKZIP 1.01 with PKZIP 2.04
-
- 3) Insufficient memory. For PKZIP programs, the error codes 4-11, 21, 22
- indicate insufficient memory.
-
- 4) Turn on the Archiver Detection System. You probably where using
- the wrong process command.
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 6 [ PROBLEM COMPRESSING FILE ]
-
- A problem occurred during the compressing process of the packet.
-
- Process Command:
- %3
-
- Dos Error code : %1
- Process Error Code : %2
-
- Please check the following:
-
- 1) Compression program is located in the DOS path directories.
-
- 2) For PKZIP programs, the process error codes 4-11, 21, 22 indicate
- insufficient memory. Try using the Exec Swap $ prefix for the
- compression command.
-
- 3) PKZIP process error 14 means your disk is FULL.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 7 [ PROBLEM COPYING ATTACHED FILE ]
-
- A problem occurred copying the file attached to the target file:

-
- !PROBLEM 8 [ LOW OR OUT OF MEMORY ]
-
- Process Error Code: %2
- Dos Error Code : %1
- Process : %3
-
- You are either low on memory or the process requires more memory. Xpress
- requires about 512K for real mode operations. Protected Mode Xpress
- eliminates these kinds of errors.
-
- Possible solutions to try:
-
- 1) Use Exec Swapping by adding a $ as a prefix to the process command.
-
- 2) Upgrade to the protected mode version of Silver Xpress.
-
- 3) Check TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs. Are they needed?
-
- 4) If you are running Xpress from a DOS MENU program or from a
- communications program, please make sure these programs free up
- memory before calling Xpress.
-
- !END
-

-
- !PROBLEM 18 [ ARCHIVER NOT FOUND ON PATH]
-
- A problem occurred while xpress attempted to find the archiver program on
- your computer.
-
- ARCHIVER: %1
-
- Xpress requires an archiver to either decompress mail packets or compress
- reply packets.
-
- By default, Xpress uses the detector system. So if you have this enabled,
- Xpress expects to find an archiver resided in one of your DOS directories
- defined in the PATH statement. Check to make sure the expected archiver
- is on your computer and put into a directory that is on your PATH
- statement. To learn more about the PATH statement, consult your DOS user
- manual.
-
- Some users have hardcoded the location of archiver in the ARCHIVER.DEF
- file. If you are one of these users, please double check and make sure
- it is defined correctly.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 19 [ UNRECOGNIZED PACKET FORMAT ]
-
- A problem occurred when Xpress attempted to detect the compression
- format of your mail packet.
-
- Mail Packet : %1
-
- Xpress does not recognize the compression format of this packet.
-
- If you know what the compression utilities required for this packet,
- then you will need to:
-
- 1) Edit the archiver.def file and add the new archiver definition
-
- 2) Disable the detection system and hard code the archiver compression
- and expansion commands.
-
- !END
-
- !WARNING 20 [ Obselete Xpress Format ]
-
- This Silver Xpress Reader will not work with this older version OPX packet.
-
- There should be no one on earth using this format defined in the OPX
- packet you downloaded. Please inform the HOST sysop from which you got
- this packet to update his Silver Xpress Mail Door.
-
- !END
-
- !WARNING 21 [ Outside Archiver Management ]
-
- This option is only available when you let Silver Xpress do the unpacking
- of mail packets.
-
- Whenever you use the -O switch, you tell Xpress to simply read the files
- in the work directory. It will not attempt to search for mail packets,
- unpack them or pack reply packets. The -O switch is for 3rd party archive
- management systems.
-
- !END
-
-
- !PROBLEM 23 [ Error with External Editor ]
-
- A problem occurred when Xpress attempted to execute the editor you
- defined.
-
- EXTERNAL EDITOR: %1
-
- Solution:
-
- 1) Double check the existence of the program
-
- 2) If it is a large program, then you will need to probably use
- Exec Swapping. Do do exec swapping, first full declare the
- editor location and then add a $ character as a prefix. For
- example:
-
- EXTERNAL EDITOR: $C:\WP\WP.EXE %1
-
- !END
-
- !WARNING 26 [ No editor defined ]
-
- You told Xpress to use the external editor to create mail. However,
- you did not define an external editor.
-
- No problem. Xpress will now switch to using the internal editor to
- continue your mail creation activity.
-
- However, if you wish to use an external editor for your next mail
- creation, you will need to define an external editor in the configuration
- section.
-
- !END
-
- !PROBLEM 27 [ Problem loading with MENU library ]
-
- A problem occurred when Xpress attempted to load the menu library file.
-
- Menu error code : %1 (a 2 means file not found)
- Menu library file : %2
-
- Solution:
-
- 1) If you used the -X switch, check the spelling of the menu file.
-
- 2) Make sure the file SXMENU.LIB is located in Xpress directory.
- Run Xpress with the -S switch and see if the menus come up.
- If the problem continues, get a new copy from your backup.
-
- 3) The HOST attempted to send a customized menu library to you and it
- was possibly corrupted. Delete any *.LIB file from the mail packet
- you attempted to open and try again. If this was the problem, please
- report it to the BBS sysop of the mail packet.
-
- !END

- A problem ocurred during the decompression of your mail packet.
-
- Mail Packet : %2
- Decompression command : %1
- Last Error Code : %3
-
- Possible Solutions:
-
- 1) Do you have the Archiver Detection System turned on?. You probably used
- the wrong process command, i.e, decompression a ZIP packet with ARJ.
-
- 2) Maybe you need PKZIP 2.04. Maybe the file was compressed using PKZIP
- 2.04 at the BBS. Try turning on the Archiver Detection System and turn
- on the Internal Zip Support.
-
- 3) No more disk space during the decompression process. Clean up the
- hard disk.
-
- 4) Check the integrity of the mail packet.
-
