6/29/87 After just releasing Pics vers 1.6 we discovered a bug that affects the batch uploads (to Pics), causing the batch mode to terminate. The problem has been traced to the 'checking for duplicates' message that is printed (at both ends) for each file to be received. If you change the following code and then re-compile your Pics files the problem will be fixed. Pics 1.7 will contain this fix. file: PICS2D.INC line: 34 presently reads: writeln(usr); writeln(usr,'Checking for duplicates.. wait..'); replace line 34 with the following: if mode<>'B' then begin writeln(usr); writeln(usr,'Checking for duplicates.. wait..'); end; That's all there is to it. The message will be suppressed in batch mode. Les Archambault
