Wildcards can be used in the pathname:

You may only specify a single nodelist.

I'm unable to persuade TimedNT to read z:\nodelist\nodelist.* -- on a different network computer. I'm just going to test and see if it will
read locally.

And no, that makes no difference either :-(

Windows 10 64 bit, btw.

I'm unable to reproduce that behaviour here using timEd/NT 1.30 in Windows 7 64-bit.

Tested using the latest Zone 3 nodelist (nodelist.138), though any nodelist should work.

File permission problem?

Are there any error messages?

eg.

Could not match FidoNodelist pattern 'nodelist.*'!

or:

Can't open FidoNodelist file '\nodelist\nodelist.124'!

timEd change log

----

* TIMKEYS.CFG, READMAPS.DAT and WRITMAPS.DAT were missing from the
distribution archives and are now included.

After installing, configuring and running the Windows version(on
Win7), I'm getting a message telling me that 'timed.hlp' is missing
when I press <F1>.

However, I've dragged a copy out of the source and put it in my timEd directory but when I now press F1, nothing at all happens.

Ah yes, I still left out the help file from the archives. :-(

Downloading it from the source code on GitHub works, or from an earlier version
of timEd.

I can't replicate that here in Windows 7. It works for me.

The code to display the help file is pretty simple and has reasonable error checking, so I can't even speculate as to what's wrong there.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks.

Tut-tut! ;-)

I've grabbed a copy of 1.12 but it's not in there either.

directory but when I now press F1, nothing at all happens.

OK and as I notice that someone else can't replicate it either, it
looks like the problem is somewhere on my system but what it is, I
really can't imagine??

I notice there's what appears to be a compiled version of the help
compiler included in the source, along with the source for the help
file. So, I thought I'd try and be clever<grin> and compile the help
file myself to see if that solved the problem. Not possible because
the help compiler(hlpcomp.exe) is 16-Bit and obviously won't run on
64-Bit Windows. A 32-Bit version would be nice, thank you very much ;)

Further to my previous post about this, I've discovered that it
depends on a combination of "Screen Buffer Size" and "Window Size" in
my Win7 console along with the "Startup_Lines" setting in "timed.cfg"
as to whether the online help displays or not.

Ah. My guess is the help file is being displayed but is off-screen. There are similar issues running the NT version of timEd in Windows 10 if the screen buffer isn't setup correctly. Other fullscreen text mode apps will have similar
problems. IIRC there was an earlier thread about this.
