      16 Dec 16 07:20, you wrote to me:               NB>>> Yeah, that's basically how it works. It's a full screen reader, and        NB>>> when you want to reply, you can hit "R" to reply to the message,        NB>>> which then would open up SlyDCTedit, SlyIceEdit, or whatever editor        NB>>> you have configured to use.               ml>> i think you're thinking of the digital distortion's message lister...               NB> No, I'm not. I'm specifically referring to DDMR, or Digital        NB> Distortion's Message Reader. Please just try it out, rather than        NB> assume you know what I'm talking about. :)              ok... we'll have to look and see if we can find it... the only digital       distortions stuff max has on her sbbs is slyedit... no ddml or ddmr...               ml>> slyedit has three start up modes, DCT, ICE or RANDOM... the message        ml>> lister thing is something separate and i don't find any indication of        ml>> it in Max's setup... the slyedit stuff is there and the docs do        ml>> reference the DDML but that's all i can find about it... AFAIK,        ml>> slyedit came with sbbs when Max first pulled it off the repo and        ml>> compiled it... i'm not aware of anything special done to acquire        ml>> it...               NB> The new message reader has the message lister built into it, However,        NB> it started out as a message reader, and evolved to incorporate some of        NB> his other separate mods now.              we'll see if we can find it... hopefully it is included in sbbs like slyedit       was so that it can/will be updated when an update from the sbbs repo is made...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it       wrong...       ... We are all self-made, but only the rich will admit it.       ---        * Origin: (1:3634/12.73)    |
