Subj : don't cry for me I have vi To : Russell Tiedt From : Maurice Kinal Date : Wed Mar 30 2005 05:13 pm Hey Russell! RT> No problem, then they view all the kludges in all their glory RT> tho they might not know what a fidonet address is to reply to. :-(( I doesn't matter. All the real information is there as part of the message. Besides, I am the only one currently doing this that I am aware of. I know. RT> Come to think of it a set of "fido" macro's might be a feasable option RT> fo VIM. I thought of that awhile ago but thought I'd try this method first and see if it's worth jumping through the proper hoops for. Sort of fun this way but I don't see it lasting this way too much longer. RT> I'm just wondering if the "ideal" is really that practical, I think it could be. Definetly worth a looksee. RT> As above, I think it is a case of six of one and a half dozen of the RT> other, either you change the utilities, or you change the database RT> (msgbase), I think it is simpler to change the filters/utilities. We'll see. I'll try the database (msgbases) first and see where that goes. I plan to put up thttpd on the LAN here and see how that'll work as a cgi scripted Fido BBS thingy. I am not a fan of web thingies but I figure it is worth having a look at and see if I can sucker ... errrrr ... convince a few of the locals to give it a try. RT> Hmmm ... I have one, running a system here, and he is a paraplegic, RT> just to make life "interesting". :-( Also no way I can tell him, RT> "Sorry but I can no longer accomadate your system". It is what he has, RT> can afford, and is familiar with. What's wrong with Linux on there? It wouldn't cost him any more and it will give him more then he already has. If he can do DOS and likes it, then he's long past due for Linux on there. Tell him for me, "Get with the program already!!!" I don't know about you people. :::shaking my head in utter disbelief::: - Maurice --- Hacked v0.1b * Origin: Coffin Point (1:261/38.9) .
