(http://www.hamfon.com/hamfon.htm) Something major has changed in the protocol it seems, and after some digging I found that the real RC returned is 58 RC_MUST_UPGRADE. The HamBot is compiled for the SDK build 15. Could someone with VC++ please recompile it for build 24? I can provide the GPL sourcecode. Developer note: This is valid for all bots using old SDK builds, so if you wrote a bot long ago (or perhaps not so long ago? not sure where the limit is) you might want to recompile it...

You should be able to compile the source on any compiler. I can try; hand it over.

But have fun trying: http://kahnews.cjb.net/bots/hamsource.zip (unzip rootdir into what you want to be the base directory, and the two other zips in subdirs with the same name as the archives). KAH |
