 Hi all,
 I have downloaded from SIMTEL20's archives the KA9Q package,
 some basic features doesn't seem to work properly though.
 System in use 520 ST 1 Meg first ROM (0.19), SH205 (20 Meg).
 The problem is in the file interface, that is in the filename
 built using sprintf, the PC use a slash and the atari should
 use a backslash (ie. doubled in fmt string of sprintf).
 As the system was crashing quite a bit when trying to get a
 smtp between the ST and a PC, I transferred the sources
 and it appears that both NET and BM used the same sprintf structure.
 Now I have the prospero C (Pascal and FORTRAN also BTW and I like their
 compatibility, documentation and user friendly interface) and hacked
 the BM sources to have it to work properly (filename) it ... worked
 as I do not want to hack the NET sources I was wondering if
 it was possible to have a more useable version for the ST.
 (BTW I zapped the run time modules trying to change in the code
 the slash in double backslash ... guess what ... Bombs 8-).Any help
 would be greatly appreciated.
