[Dx4win] External Program Callsign Address Lookup

Mon, 6 May 2002 23:26:46 -0400

What do you have in the 'Executable program' textbox ?  I'm getting the same
results with the batch file in c:\progam files\dx4win503\extdata as I did in
c:\ .

I've tried the batch file outputting to stdout with this in the textbox:
"test.bat %1 > %2" and I've tried the batch file outputting to the
manager.res file like the example below, with "test.bat", "test.bat %1" in
the textbox.  Nothing seems to work.

Thanks
