    RW> -> RW> "All" usually sends the message to "All."   
    RW> ->   
    RW> -> Nope, it doesn't.  Writing a message to All in WINServer is like   
    RW> -> write a message to ALL in a FidoNET echo.  a cc is not sent out to   
    RW> -> all your users. Most BBS packages have this feature.  I left a   
    RW> -> message on the WINServer listserver and what I found out is that I   
    RW> -> would need to buy the wcReports package.  Santronics, or Mustang   
    RW> -> Software, made a choice at some point to spread needed features over   
    RW> -> 2, 3 or 4 different programs so that a SysOP was forced to buy 2, 3   
    RW> -> or 4 different programs.  I have spent soooooo much  over the years   
    RW> -> supporting Santronics.... I am just not going to spe other dime so   
    RW> -> that I can cc a message to all my users.   
    RW>    
    RW> So you are wanting to send the same message at once to every user on your   
    RW> system individually?  Seems like an easy job for a wcCODE module to me.    
    RW> But, you are right.  A lot of other BBS packages do have this feature   
    RW> built in.   
    RW>    
   I know most, if not all, other packages have that built into the package.    
   Most of these packages are free, and even under development as well.  I just   
   paid a few hundred dollars to get the latest version, up to speed on the   
   AUP... whatever...   
   I am a hobbiest.  I really don't care about all the extended features some   
   people may want to use.... I have always leaned towards the terminal side.  I   
   may just keep WINServer as a game server, I have a load of wcx games   
   registered.... Not sure exactly what do do... we'll see ... Mystic has   
   everything I want, and more, but I talked myself out of that and paid money   
   Santronics...   
      
   fTelnet kicking my ass like it's 2020 for the rest of my life... learning some   
   Linux along the way... installed apache web server on my pi to see if I'd get   
   the same error with a different web server.... and YES I did... piss me off.   
      
   More to come....:)
