That has to be the shortest post I've ever seen in this forum. You win the micromedal. -dave

We're gonna build a park with lots of water right in the middle of our playland. Why don't you come over and make a few ribbit sounds?

-dave /* are you located in the bay area?*/ Nah. When I'm not running amuck in cyberspace you can't see me anyway 'cause I live in N'Awlins… Below see level. More like Bayou. But I'd move to the bay iffin somebody wanted me real bad 🙂 ribbit can you share with me your secret on how you manage to tend to all the threads you weave on the various nets, subs, etc. Like what software do you use on Cserve, and on PCGnet? Do you store the threads, i.e. the forum traffic? BIG Hard Drive? Tape? Aside from mail addressed to you, how do you monitor traffic on the highway here in ASOFT? I'm just trying to stay on top and with the highway expansion and all its gettin tricky. Fact is, first time I posted this note, I accidentally posted it to myself. Thread management of StudioCity is a lot easier since it got its own forum. But I got a feeeeling its gettin ready to bust loose. Any tips you have are welcome. kg

>> Aside from mail addressed to you, how do you monitor traffic on the >> highway here in ASOFT? PMJI, Kevin, but I use OzCIS (shareware) and D/L all the messages in the areas that interest me. It is similar in cost to D/Ling message headers alone and returning to retrieve particular threads, but without the extra calls. I can then page through ALL the messages and read those that look interesting. If I am in a hurry, I can access an index and just read the threads I am concerned with. If you need any additional details, I'll be happy to help. Drop me a line. – Dave Marks

Dave… I'm totally swamped. A friend showed me how WINCIM worked tonight..last nite? I'm operating at text level using ProComm Plus. I capture threads and read them offline. I need to get a faster modem… That's a priority. I need to get a faster brain… that's a wish… My question to Mr. Green Team encompasses more than activities on CompuServe. Though I see you quote the specific passage regarding ASOFT…. However.. He, like I, travel the other highways. And OzCis ceases to function there. My activities on FIDONET and elsewhere have become mired here. But I'm not complaining…. SMILE I want to take this opportunity to tell you yet again how much I have truly enjoyed your companionship, comraderie, conversation, humor, etc. here in the forum. And if somebody thinks that's a "wank statement" <G> then I guess I defer to them for a better choice of words. Mr. Innomator. Thanksamongus. Friends for a looooooooong time… KG

>> He, like I, travel the other highways. And OzCis ceases to function >> there. My activities on FIDONET and elsewhere have become mired here. I think for FidoNet and other BBS's I still prefer the flexibility of ProComm and QModem. My brother always liked Telix. Back in the days when I had time for a FidoNet board, I took advantage of the BlueWave Message Reader. It allowed you to Pkzip all your messages an DL them in one shot. (Of course CIS won't allow you to zip your messages… you'd save too much money!) -Dave

won't allow you to zip your messages? Stand by for a big Zipper. <G>

/* can you share with me your secret on how you manage to tend to all the threads you weave on the various nets, subs, etc. Like what software do you use on Cserve, and on PCGnet? */ It varies with the task and channel at hand, Kevin. For messages on Compuserve, I use TapCIS and WinCIM, for messages on PCGnet I use combination of Procomm with SLMR. /* Do you store the threads, i.e. the forum traffic? BIG Hard Drive? Tape? */ Oh yeah. 🙂 /* Aside from mail addressed to you, how do you monitor traffic on the highway here in ASOFT?

Any tips you have are welcome. */ The process does keep changing… Compuserve _is_ part of the highway. With Internet I go through a provider and several educational institutes I work with. In ASOFT, I configure TaCIS to read everything. Most of it is worth it too! -dave
