I managed to get the offending IIS server switched to 'Unix Style' directory listings and the FTP library works fine now.

In the meantime I'll cope without the date.

hi,

Had an idea I am testing now, got program running as:

dummy=bit_modified(string1)
string1=dummy
dummy=""
dummy=bit_modified(string1)
string1=dummy
dummy=""
dummy=bit_modified(string1)
string1=dummy
dummy=""
dummy=bit_modified(string1)
string1=dummy

string3=""

Thanks, I will watch for any updates.
I'm porting a suite of BCX,QBasic and PowerBasic Dos/Console Apps, so far only the redirection being a major problem.

hi,

thanks for that, doesn't work though. I'm calling the app from an existing console so its not closing. tried setting the delay quite large (100000) still got the same problem. I put the delay before printn() and the program took longer to crash. tried adding inkey() before printn and it waits ...
