Just a quick question about the file/message base lister. Have installed it here and the file groups and message groups are working fine but When I
attempt to use the xq-ma script it immediately drops carrier (for lack of better words).

One other question as far as the display of them. Would it be possible for
you to add comments to the scripts as far as what each portion does? I've
been able to change the ansi and also where the groups are positioned, and
the width, but display is still screwy. I'm sure I can eventually figure everything out given time but just saying it would be cool if it were commented.

Does the xq-fa script works fine? Cause are almost the same and if something is wrong with code, you should see it in both scripts. Throw some writeln, commands inside the code, with various text, and see after which point it crashes. This could help a lot to find the bug or the error, maybe in another file? In my system the script works just fine... thats why i am living a
chance that something else is going wrong.

i'll help you as mush as i can.

Yes, the xq-fa script works fine. I'll try to take a look this afternoon. Sunday's I normally have several hours of paperwork when I get home from work so don't normally do anything after that besides hang out with the wife. I
may be able to get everything finished a bit quicker this afternoon though so would be able to take a look then.

I have found that this error stems from trying to access an invalid array element. Like if the array index is -1 or something like that. It's pretty forgiving if you have a 100 element array and you go past the 100th element, but when you go below the first element, it will balk and through that error.

I check that for xq-ma and realize that if a BBS has more than 100 message bases it will exceed the size of an array... and probably this is causing the crash.

There are two fixes. The Sysop can alter the total size of the array at line
11 and make it a little bigger than the total count of his message bases, or
at line 180 change this: If TotalAreas = 100 Then begin into this:
If TotalAreas >= 100 Then begin

With the second way if the bases are over 100, it will display the old style.

If someone can confirm that i will post an updated package with the fixes. I suppose the same goes for xq-fa.

Thanx Gryphon :)

Neither of those works for me.
