    simply rename them back to .pkt and trigger your fido-in event by touching the semaphore...

    Someone please refresh my lack of memory!

    Reboot your computer. ;)

    When I didn't have the right settings for fido and it made packets .bad how or can you process them after making the right changes?

    Rename the .bad to .pkt could be a suggestion.

    You can use the pktdump tool from exec directory to inspect these packet
    and add -split or -recover
    to get the "good part" of them,

    that should not be necessary in many cases... it won't help with packets missing the packet password... it depends on why the packet was detected as bad... your sbbs/data/sbbsecho.log will hold all the answers...

    Hello

    Yes I opened a packet and show a password changed all the files to pkt and
    bang worked after then setting a packet password.

    Thank you
