      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 3:770/100 8bb3c587       TZUTC: 1300       I moved Agency to Linux and can't seem to get some things working. Wondering       if I have missed something?              FLAG1x              I have a user account with Flag 1A set. There's a file called FLAG1A.ANS that       displays on the old A46 win32 instance of the BBS when the user logs in.              But on the new Linux box (running the version in my tear line below) the only       thing I have changed is the display file to lowercase (as per wiki notes) so       it's now called flag1a.ans but the file no longer displays when the user logs       on. Did I miss something?              ANSICHAT.XXX              I miss the options that display on a terminal window when a user if active in       Windows. It seems Nodespy is my only option for some things I used to be able       to do with the Windows terminal.              Using the Window terminal in the A46 win32 version I could call Alt-S to       engage a split screen chat and a lower case ansichat.ANS would display.              Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no equivalent option in Linux.. and I       need to use Nodespy - sound right? :)               In the Linux version I made the file name ansichat.ans and then went looking       as to how to call it.              When running Nodespy I can run snoop and there after can use alt-c to chat...       but if I want to use the split-screen chat I need to go to the 'user chat'       option in Nodespy.              The problem is it calls the stock split-screen chat ansi background and seems       to ignore the ansichat.ans I have. Any ideas why? I probably missed something.              I also wondered if in 'snoop' you could add the split-screen chat option in so       alt-s as well as having alt-c option?              In the windows terminal there were options to edit the user while online,       increase and decrease avail time, toggle the status bar displaying user info       on and off, and toggle the info being displayed on the status bar. Do you       think you could add the same code to the nodespy module too? I kinda think it       would be helpful stuff for a Linux sysop and it's something I've missed since       moving to Linux from Windows.              I'd better stop there :)              Thanks for any info / thoughts.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/09/29 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 114/705 120/340 123/120 131 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 218/840 220/70 226/17 30 100 227/114 702 229/101 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 452 550 664 700 981 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400       SEEN-BY: 250/5 8 267/800 282/1038 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2 3 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 340/1000 342/200 633/280 712/848 770/1 3 100 340       SEEN-BY: 772/210 220 230       PATH: 770/100 1 317/3 229/426           |
