EZ-Transfer for RMB V1.13

[Ralph Rinaldi]

Gentlemen,
Is this product on the legacy pages still supported for configuration errors? We are trying to upgrade a very old and complicated test stand to a PC based system and are attempting to use the EZ-Transfer V1.13 software to convert the files. When we purchased and used this in the early 2000s, we used a windows 98 machine that no longer exists. Just for testing, I have setup two different machines; the first is a clean install of Win98SE running HTB V8.3 and the other is a clean install of Win11 running HTB 2021.17. The install section where the programs create their own files from the 3.5” disk and setup the default “C:\EZ_XFER” directories work fine on both systems. No errors doing the installs. When “EZ_RCV” is executed under HTBasic there is an unexpected error “ERROR 18 IN 9120 String Overflow or Sub-string error” that happens on both machines. It seems I am doing the same thing wrong on two completely different platforms? Oddly enough, we had no trouble with the HP side with EZ_SEND; it seems to be working fine on our very old HP system. Any suggestions or direction to resolve would be appreciated!

King regards, Ralph

The EZ-Transfer tool was created by techsoft.de, the German distributor of HTBasic. You would need to contact them for support.

I emailed them directly to start with and their reply insinuated it should be posted on a the forum for support. It looks like I should dig through our archives to see if we have HTBasic ver 6 or HPBasic ver 6 just to try since that was the time frame when that program was purchased (1997-1999). Was hoping to use something a little more modern for this. Of course, the last resort is to just take the time and transfer everything manually using floppy disks. Given the quantity and size of files, that is going to be a 4-5 day job. Ugh 🙁

I do appreciate the reply though. Totally understand given the age of the software involved here.
