N> your system.  And if not written to drive C, then where should they be

I have not used Drive C since 1993 for anything other than the OS.  That drive
is ALWAYS clear.   Anything goes on Drive D or E.

N> written?  From what I recally, SyncTerm normally writes its settings to a

I don't feel it should be an account program for a BBS ... it should be able
to be deleted byh removing the directory.  It's a telnet app, not a huge
program that needs "installed" into the OS.  Everything is uses should be in
the directory it unzips/runs from.

So now I am working on RGTERM to make something NetRunner/mTel like that does
ANSI/RIP and I may add sixel graphics to it.   It works just like Draw32.
Everything in its own directory, as ANY BBS app should be.  It took me a long
time to not get pissed I had to put NETFOSS.DLL in the windows\system32
directory to use NetFOSS.

I don't want shit screwing with the OS by someone that fat fingered some reg
edit and boom, time to reinstall an OS.  I'm not into that shit anymore. :)

.... So he says to the Shapeshifter waitress, "Keep the change."
