provide these.
File struct disclosure. If you are keeping the file structures to
yourself, I hope you are providing a program similar to BBSFIX. I would
have given up SYSOPing years ago if it hadn't been for BBSFIX. Too many
things go wrong too often. While BBSFIX doesn't always fix everything, it
has always gotten me back online after a crash.
Also there should be some way to extract ALL inforamtion from all files
as ASCII text and allow ASCII text files to pump all data back into the
database. An offline (background) utility would be ideal, one that doesn't
interfere with the bbs, but ARexx commands in the bbs would be OK as long
as they may be used when someone is conneced and will not interfere with
the ongoing session.
I'd appreciate a list of BBX features if you have a feature file handy.
As you can tell, I'm not going to jump into something new without knowing
what I'm getting into.
Thanks for your efforts. By the way, I run Viva! Amiga! (609-227-8278)
in Southern New Jersey (10 miles from Philadelphia). Give a call if you
are curious. 9600bps, open system and FREE.
