Subj : dosxnt To : Rob Swindell From : Paul Williams Date : Thu Oct 03 2002 10:48 pm Hi Rob Swindell, hope you are having a nice day >> Those however are all from internet based msgs and are kinda right and >>kinda wrong at the same time. They're right in that the spec says that >>the format is MSGID: and in the case of the net >>the originating addy is quite a bit different than a fido addy. RS>Actually FTSC-0009 doesn't mention anything about CRCs. It just says RS>"serialno" with the implementor to decide exactly what that is. Whoops! You're right, got my <>'s mixed up there. :> >> Oddly enough you might want to add and rescan the FTSC_PUBLIC echo as >>msgid generation is a current topic. RS>I already get that echo and have been reading the msgid subject. Fido seems to do that at times. Topic in one echo will show up in another w/ people who aren't even involved in the first and w/ a completely diff start to the thread. Gotta like that abt Fido. :> Both are proving quite educational. >> Thanks for sticking in there all this time. :> RS>It's still fun (for me). :-) Now if you can just fix the pizza protocol in the download section... No anchovies please! ];> >> Just one thing though.... Who's sick idea were the dos menu screens?? RS>I don't remember. I think it was just an example command shell idea. RS>Other sysops have created DOS and Unix emulation command shells too. Well it's a one heck of a good imitation and a doozy of a practical joke. =8> >> I thought I'd screwed things up for sure when I tried that one and >>couldn't get the other menus back. Heck I deleted and reinstalled the >>whole mess twice! RS>Really?!? That's not something to brag about! :-) Since I don't use a multitasker on this box, and it's the one w/ the mailer, I do all my experimenting on the laptop which runs '98FE. I dunno how many times I closed the dosbox it was running in and then defragged the system memory to clean up the bits. (or bytes ) Still, it's a nice program. I like the echo setup for it a lot better than like w/ max/squish. The othernet I'm a part of has some echos that're age/sex based and I didn't have a clue how I was going to solve that one. W/ your program though... Click here, click there, save, and done! -=> Yours sincerely, Paul Williams <=- .... "NYARGGGHHH! NO!!!" --Joost --- Terminate 4.00/Pro * Origin: That's absolutely disgusting....Do it again, quick! (1:387/710) .
