      Hello Wilfred.              12 Feb 19 21:42, you wrote to me:               WV> Hi Ozz,                      ON>> I am developing a new JAMAPI (TP version had a few quirks - no        ON>> longer). I have also modernized it to current class/object        ON>> structure. I will be incorporating your "Reply Chain" feature        ON>> into the JAMAPI (I call DXJAMAPI to avoid confusion).               WV> Well good luck with the porting from C to Pascal! ;)              I do it all day ;-)               ON>> * Only major wishlist I did not see (may be there) -- a drop file        ON>> from FMail to me ECHOLIST with new posts via TOSS.               WV> You mean something like what is in the toss log file but in a more        WV> machine readable form?              For example, d'Bridge tosser would let me know       FTSC_PUBLIC       FMAIL_HELP       FN_SYSOP              Which my BBS used to circumvent a full scan of 1000+ echos when someone would       log in, that was on before the most recent toss - I limited their "NEW SCAN"       to those 3 echos listed above. I have a small DB of userID,array of areas - so       it only searched the array of areas from JLR forward. *MUCH* faster for a user       on my systems... especially when I start pulling in newsgroups and any other       FTN(etwork) I can get coming in.               ON>> And what is the best way for me to pass such from BBS/NNTP/etc to        ON>> you for SCAN?              Same going out, I could drop SCANTHIS.LST and simply drop in:       AREA or AREA,MSG#              To short-circuit scanning for timestamp or modcounter changes in JAM.              Ozz              --- FMail-W32 2.0.1.4        * Origin: Richmond VA (RVA) Fidonet Support (1:275/362)    |
