Don,
I really think that all these problems stem from not
having copied all TVL Items/Events from EXAMPLE.CFG,
and/or not modifiying TZ-P.CHN properly: As stated in the
EXAMPLE.CFG directions, it is VERY important to limit
x.CHN changes ONLY to the insertion of the astericks.
Please send me your ECS.CFG and TV-P.CHN file (preferrably zipped).
Thanks,
