      MSGID: 1:18/200.0 5f9321a0        CP> Most apps are written in java. It is possible to do so in        CP> other programing languages, it's just a bit more        CP> complicated, from what I am learning.              Yes and no. FreePascal has a Java compiler so you can write your program in       Pascal but compiles into Java. I don't know how well it works but might be       something.               CP> And I haven't figured out how to start the YModem-G it's        CP> supposed to have to download a QWK packet.              You tap on fTelnet's "MENU" button and select "Download", IIRC.              I knew Chuck Forsberg way back when (I lived about 20 miles north of him).        He told me on several occasions that Zmodem was not designed to be used over       telnet and to use YModem/YModem-G instead.               CP> That's true. Although, if you start with the code of an        CP> open-source reader, I would think that it would be at least        CP> somewhat easier.              Yes, it would be. I have little interest in such a project as I don't use       my phone for much else besides talking and texting. Maybe someone else will       pick up the mantle from here.              Later,       Sean               ___ MultiMail/Linux v0.52              --- Maximus/2 3.01        * Origin: Outpost BBS * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10123 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 275 424 426 452 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
