Outpost

  • MS Windows can cause Outpost to be blocked while waiting on PDF printer filename
    • Using a PDF pseudo-printer is common for testing purposes. It may also be used for creating a permanent record of the final format messages.
    • When printing to a PDF pseudo-printer, the MS Windows Operating System blocks the calling program while it waits on the user to select a PDF filename. If this happens during an Outpost Send/Receive session, Outpost is prevented from continuing, including the Send/Receive session. If the user does not enter a filename within the BBS session timeout, then when Outpost resumes, the Send/Receive session will have timed out.
    • Workaround: When using a PDF pseudo-printer, enter the filename when prompted.
    • Resolution: Outpost will be updated in a future release to include an intermediate program that can be blocked by the Operating System while allowing Outpost to continue running.
