Well, a little more fiddling around and I got FifoBBS to run
throught the CLI (no luck getting it to interact with VLT), but I
still have some serious problems.  I am getting all sorts of errors
in the AREXX script itself. First, it complained about the line:
SIGNAL ON FAILURE
then later it complained about an unknown function call in the
series of lines beginning with
if ~exists(BBSusers) then call Makedir(BBSusers).

I'm suspecting that I have an outdated version of AREXX. I have
version 1.06. Is this the problem? And how do I get it to run
through VLT?  I've mounted FIFO:, initiated AREXX with a rexxmast
command, started VLT and turned on the pipes.  I then go back to a
CLI and do a rx fifobbs local and it comes up with another of its
errors and then asks me to log ion via the CLI.  I could only get
it to recognize the sysop account after creating all the FifoBBS:
directories myself.

If my problem is with an old version of AREXX, does anyone have a
phone # or E-mail address for Willam Hawes and company?

Any help is much appreciated.
