Blat Error Return Codes

Known Issues / Things to be aware of:

Blat.dll works exactly like blat.exe. One difference is that when using blat.exe, the command interpreter (DOS box) removes extra spaces from the command line. When constructing the command line string to pass to the Blat.dll's Send function, be careful to construct the command line without any extra spaces.

Do not include a trailing space in the Subject: -s "this is a bad thing to do " This will cause the send to fail.

News

Nothing to report. Most recent Blat DLL is based on 1.9.4
