      X-RFC-Mime: 1.0       REPLYADDR: ozznixon@gmail.com       MSGID: 1:1/123.0 5D11610D       PID: ExchangeBBS NNTP Server v3.1/Linux64       TID: ExchangeBBS FTN Tosser/JAM v1.19.04 (Beta 4.09)       (a) Finally have my Dynamic IP Scripts programmed to update the        Mikrotik Cloud Core routers, and to update DNS Made Easy (60 second        TTL, means I should not be down more than 2 minutes during a DHCP        Re-Lease).              (b) I have not found my spare Windows Intel NUC - (somewhere).              (c) I have not setup a Mac folder yet for v16 PAE - been working on:              i. PCBoard Terminal - A cross-platform ANSI and beyond terminal. I got        tired of limitations I was experiencing with SyncTerm and fTelnet. So,        as they always say to me "Well, if you are so f'ing smart write your        own"... I AM. LOL.               I have been focusing on native GUI, and have developed my own        Display Widget for the Lazarus compiler. Simply add a unit, and start        referencing it in the code. Only piece of logic "the developer" has to        do is set top and left, it automatically calculated out 25 rows by 80        columns. And yes, it does support 43 rows and/or 50 rows, and of course        132 columns. I wanted to make sure I was still DOS backward        compatible... but - that is where the DOS compatability stops. I am        working on enabling Caret for the cursor, along with accept mouse        interaction (may add a fake mouse cursor inside the Widget). I call the        Widget GuiCrt.               GuiCrt was developed to mimic DOS, but take advantage of the canvas,        allowing 24 bit color (Foreground and Background)... I am even        tinkering with Kitty Protocol (ANSI extended for graphics beyond        RIPScript, including PNG). Imagine having the BBS set a background        image, or even manipulating the terminal's SHAPE. Haha (Almost posted a        screenshot, then realized SHIT this if FIDO). :-(               I have also started porting 'Multiplexer Relay Chat' previously        known as 'MysticBBS Relay Chat'. And the way PCB16 works, PCBTerm can        communicate right to my favorite PCBoard's MRC gateway - adding DESKTOP        Chat!               Still have a ton of testing to do ... but, had a moment to say SURPRISE!       -)              Ozz aka SqZ              --- ExchangeBBS NNTP Server v3.1/Linux64        * Origin: (1:1/123)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 226/17 227/114 229/123 354 426 616 1014 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 633/280       PATH: 1/123 229/426           |
