Just checked an original wg3d DAT (galpnqs2.dat) and butil6 report version "prior to 6.00"
And tried ELWNS dos in wg3d and it gp.out with "ELWNS is for an older version of Worldgroup"

WG 3.0 is a calamity. I don't support it.

Yes thats a terrible fork, as-if there wasn't enough fragmentation already.

The general rule I understand for btrieve:
5 for all dos. (even wg3d)
6 for win32

Hmm. I'll double check. I thought I just used the default Btrieve files I had for the old BBSV6 version of that module, but maybe I did regenerate.
