Made my way back to RG with the v1.30DOS release, I have to say, it's better 
than i remember. Working on the BBS now, but had a few Q's I hope some 
seasoned sysops could weigh in on!

- I'm running Win7-32, NET2BBS. I attempted a Ubuntu + Dosbox setup, but found
that just running old Windows on an old machine was a lot easier. Anyone run 
RG w/dosemu2? just curious if I should keep prodding on linux.

- I'm using Binkd and GEcho. Back in the day, I ran Front Door and FastEcho (I
think?). I'm used to binkd because of linux side, but seems so... inelegant
compared to the old DOs GUIs and WFC screens. Anyone have a favorate 
mailer/tosser setup w/RG?

- Speaking of scanning/tossing... I'm having trouble triggering an echomail 
scan with RENEMAIL after logged out locally (/L) on RG. Works fine when 
'calling' through NET2BBS. My local BAT file looks like this, but seems like 
the error level isn't being set or something?

RG-LOCAL.BAT
---------
:START

CD\RENEGADE
c:\RENEGADE\renegade.exe /L
if errorlevel 255 goto QUIT
if errorlevel 2 goto OUTMAIL

GOTO QUIT

:OUTMAIL
c:
CD \RENEGADE
RENEMAIL -S
CD \GECHO
GECHO SCAN
CD \RENEGADE
RENEMAIL -P
GOTO QUIT

:QUIT
-----

It's just so much easier to do a FAST LOCAL login, not sure what I'm missing.

Cheers, and great to be 'home' again with Renegade!
