      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A45       MSGID: 1:342/201 3ee9ab26       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>         RW>               Yes              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           |
