Yeah that site especially the English side, seems to be stuck in a time warp (Yeah, I know.. Fido itself is.. but..I find my self more at "home" here than other methods.)

Which is why there is no docs since its all in some gibberish... Yes I know its Russian..

Well that wasn't particullary aimed at YOU.... more to these "developers' running around that think everyone lives in that world.


 AI> Hmm. I see very few warnings.. but it looks like we are getting closer.. :)


Just an example:

rm -f *.o

There are similar "warnings."

To me that means you failed the assignment! As when I compiled my PASCAL stuff for my CS class... I had to provide the source and the compiled program and those warnings would have be an F! Even if it runs.. warnings are not a "Clean compile" thus Here's your F!

 Like I said it appears to have created stuff that runs... but having to slog through a LACK OF DOCUMENTATION, and what does exist that reads like WAH WAHH WAHH WAHHH..

I think I am going to take and scp over PKT's as backup once I get an official node and running to test things with in a VM.. Then I'll determine which route I go stay with crashmail which seems to make more sense to me.. or something else...
