I think that this problem has to do with diffences in the size and structure of the way the 2 os's save binary data with fwrite(). the char that you are trying to log on is idnum 1, right? (first char ever to log on). If so, this is your problem. You could write some program for win95 that takes the pfile, converts it to plain text or some other cross platform format, then make a program for the other machine that takes the re-formatted version and writes it back to binary. the only other way would be to delete the pfile. Come to think of it, you'll prolly have to convert all the rent files too, because they're in binary format. It's prolly easier to just wipe the pfile and all the rent files and start the players from scratch.
