G4VYX/TPK 1.8b Msg #:144  Date:4-4-97  Time:17:44Z

Hi there

If  like  me  you  have  been  having the tagging problem with all TPK 1.8
versions then this bull may be of help to you.

I  have  now  tried  all  the  release  versions  of  TPK ver 1.8 upto and
including  ver  1.8b.   All give me the same problem in that they will not
tag the headers as specified in "config.tpk" for download from the BBS.

It must be said that I have used TPK for some years now without any problem
at all until the release of 1.8.

I  have discovered on my system at least that TPK will not tag until I have
visited  the  BBS  list  page.  After that it will happily tag anything and
everything it is asked by the config file.  As an example if I boot TPK and
just  leave  it to work it will gather headers Ok but will not tag them for
download.    If  I them manually visit the BBS list page and then return to
the  main  screen  everything  it  see's  after  this  will  be  tagged and
downloaded Ok.

What  I  have  done is to add the line "BR GB7MSF L" as the last line in my
config.tpk file.  This then automatically puts TPK into the BBS list screen
on  boot  up  and  I  simply  need  to press escape to get back to the main
screen.  After this TPK ver 1.8b will tag as it should.

This  is  really  only  a  temporary  fix  for me until I find out what the
problem  really is, but as I have tried just about everything to resolve the
problem it is the only way around it for me at present.

I hope that this may be of help to you if you are suffering this problem as
I know quite a few of you out there are.

P.S.    Dont forget to replace GB7MSF with callsign of your BBS in the line
added to config.tpk.
