I guess that's why I got interested in Linux.  It works nicely with speech, and
it does bring back the nostalgia of a commandline interface which I quite like.
I'm a slow learner on Linux because I am not a programmer, and sometimes
documentation seems vague to me, but I like Linux as an alternative to M$$s.
And so ok, for the moment I can dablle in eitherr.
right now I have downloaded the sbbs_src.tgz tarball, and I'm looking at
sbbs_unix.txt, but when I tried to build Synchronet, and I was instructed to go
into /sbbs/exec, there wasn't any /exec directory, so I must have done
something wrong but I'll try it again.
Hmmm. babbling again, time to eat something.
