Managed to make some today but only regarding terminal usage. I decided to take care of my needs first and then worry about httpd. This way all the "meat and potatoes" issues, such as dupechecking, will be taken care of and can be recycled to the XML-RPC BBS thingy. MK>> One step at a time. RT> The only way ... Certainly looks that way so far. Other then some of the txt2pkt.pl script I haven't found that much Perl stuff for this particular project. The POSIX module is definetly a handy-dandy module for the cause and ought to take care of incompatibilities regarding any other OS client connecting to the BBS. If done "right" they won't even have to get the time "right" since I don't plan that as input to the server. Good stuff!
