[TRLog] POST problems

[VR2BrettGraham]

Tree asked about my POST problems:

>Exactly when does it happen - are there any error messages displayed?

If I build with 6.43, UEZ results in a run-time error 201 at 01AD:B689 at
cell JA.  UEA hangs there too, same error at 01AD:5965.  Ditto for UEG, at
01AD:06F5.

If I build with 6.42, UEZ/UEA/UEG work fine in 6.42, but if I use that .DTA
file with 6.43, UEZ/UEA/UEG bomb as described above.

Nope.  With 6.43 I try to UEFF AD1C's recent compilation & that's just a
call at position 1.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is another one of those it-happens-for-me-
but-nobody-else things.  Last night I put together my 55k call data file,
Jim's file, a 100k call file from somewhere else, two vanity call conversion
files & then removed single hits - I have to use 6.40 or earlier to do so.

>Did you already send me your .DTA file?  I am not sure I have it.

Don't think so - I think that was one of those big .DTA files to try fixing
merging.  I'll send the file separately in a moment - I have looked for
something obviously wrong in the ASCII file but see nothing & I would sorta
expect that something bad in there wouldn't trip only some versions of POST.
