      Hello Ken!              04 May 18 21:59, you wrote to all:               KB> A long time ago I started looking at mbnntp and played with using a        KB> newsgroup client to access the various echo's on my system, but        KB> unfortunately most of my work was lost with a hard drive crash on my        KB> development workstation about a year ago.

It seems that I        KB> have to re-teach myself C every time I do work on MBSE. :-)              I started learning C to fix issues with MakeNL, and then as I got more        comfortable with it I tackled MBSE. There are still a bunch of things I want        to work on with it. The interBBS chat needs to be overhauled and upgraded to        support IPv6, the BBS won't fall back to displaying the ASCII file if the ANSI        file doesn't exist, etc.              There are only so many hours in a day...              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
