      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A45       MSGID: 1:342/201 316eb7ad       REPLY: 1:261/20 f00b61c2       TZUTC: -0600       On 17 Jul 2020, Robert Wolfe said the following...                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....:)              IB Joe       AKA Joe Schweier       SysOp of Joe's BBS       -= JoesBBS.Com =-              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: Joe's BBS -=JoesBBS.Com=- (1:342/201)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 342/201 633/280       PATH: 342/201 200 229/426           |
