Steve- > I'll upload a demo version, probably about the same time it's released. Any projections as to the release date? (^_^) > BBX doesn't support multiple machines. Oh, well. It was a pie-in-the-sky dream, anyway. 127 lines ought to be plenty for anyone. (^_^) > What sort of Fidonet/Usenet compatibility do you want? Well, I understand that DLG allows message bases to be intermixed, so that a BBS user can read messages imported from either UseNet or FidoNet without seeing a difference. I was also thinking in terms of 'gating' UseNet messages into FidoNet, which have two separate and distinct message formats – crossover might be difficult. For strictly the FidoNet end, using the TrapList.library for nodelist support would be something I'd strive for. Also, having an account for each user that is debited each time he sends a NetMail message (Matrix Message) (DLG and some other BBS software calls this a 'NetMail Credit' system), so that the user knows just how much it costs the SysOp to send his message to his buddy's BBS in Japan. (^_-) How would BBX fare for non-programmers like myself? I'm only just starting to learn the basics of ARexx, and have yet to master the DO loop. (^_-) Len Lekx [73300,723]
