Sometime a couple of weeks ago my yes50 suddenly quit reading my S50 (1.5.6). When I click File/open s50 the dialog box shows "Opening S50" and then it just hangs.

Yes50 had worked ok since my last update. I'm wondering if the grinch got into my S50 or into my yes50 (java update?).

I wonder if anyone has used yes50 succesfully lately.

yes50 I don't even know what you are talking about!

I don't know what the hell "Yes50" is.

Care to explain, semipenguin?

I'll take that as an "illegal software program".

I assume the OP is talking about this: http://www.siriusbackstage.com/forum...c-manager.html

But I have no idea who supports that program, it certainly isn't supported by Sirius and I don't know anything about it.

I think me_rubin had contacted bclbob about coming over to DRC, but he never has. I am not sure the software still works.

That's the correct Sirius Backstage thread for yes50. Bclbob last updated it for version 1.5.6 in Aug 2007, but I've not heard from him since. Yes50 has been a good alternative to MSS, since it will read the mychannels buffers.

I was hoping that bclbob would continue to support yes50 or release the source code.

At any rate, it appears that I'm the last yes50 Mohican here.

He was invited, but I don't think he has any interest in continuing to support yes50 as there just aren't very many folks that still have the S50 now days.

But yes it would appear that you are one of the last Mohican's interested in yes50.

Errr, next to last... The program works with v1.5.6. Just be careful about the directory you open it to. The only other problem I can possibly think of is if you've upgraded your Java VM to a version that deprecated some of the functions already used by yeS50.
