st: RE: inputst can't find file
I think your setting of the global macro StatTransfer_path should be
"C:\Program Files\StatTransfer9\st.exe"
instead of simply
"C:\Program Files\StatTransfer9"
because StatTransfer_path should include the name of the executable
file, as well as its folder. (I wrote stcmd that way in case there were
operating environments where the Stat/Transfer executable had a name
other than st.exe.)
I hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't.
Best wishes

Subject: st: inputst can't find file
I am having trouble with Roger Newson's wonderful stcmd suite (from
SSC). inputst can't seem to find the file I would like to convert.
Pasted below is a log in which I confirm the StatTransfer path, the file
locations, etc. Can anyone spot my mistake?
Thanks,
Devra
