Hello Neil.

How's your testing of a fixed Binkd for the Amiga going?
Any chance of letting a few other's test it?

Is there a global option to change the max number of messages in echomail area's within zeus?

i will try build it here, hope i can on warpos gcc version, or some other ways to make it on a4000t ppc

else i could send some money to one that knows more then me to make a compile for me

have the amiga version bz2 and gz compression ?

Is there a global option to change the max number of messages in
echomail area's within zeus?

and hope Neil have planned os4 native port of the whole zeus bbs, this could get my attention more then a working binkp :)

Indeed, after some unintended long term testing it has proven very reliable.

The binary is available at: http://dropbox.myserverroom.co.uk/binkd-1.0.lha

No, but there are rexx scripts (see MsgAreas) which can alter all/groups of areas in one go.

The latest version's wouldn't compile for me, using a amiga dev enviroment hdf that I downloaded (Think it was the geek gadget's setup).. To many error's with the old (ie: back in the stone age) gcc....

and hope Neil have planned os4 native port of the whole zeus bbs, this could get my attention more then a working binkp :)

Why, do you have some really expensive hardware that has no OS on it...

I won't be getting one of the new Amiga x1000's, but will watch what goes on. I'm expecting the hardware to be mega expensive to land one here in Australia.

Thanks... Have downloaded it, and will test ver shortly.

Ok, will have a look and see what I can make into a pile of mess...

Must be somehting on your system to make it work... as this is what happens here...

Notice the './' in front of the path that is set via the config.

I even created a empty 3.633.280.0 file and still got the same error.

When trying to run binkd, I used this command:

binkd-1.0 -P 3:633/280 binkd.cfg

using option -p or -c returens a "cannot open 3:633/280: Device not configured" error.

seems unix dir to amiga assign is not rewrited in binkd :/

./ is current unix dir

in amiga os this is PROGDIR:

so PROGDIR:zeus:/fooo ugly :)

try remove assigns in binkd.cfg dont know if this can be done, but imho its amiga, not windows crap :)

I have just done a test using the real path and this version works.
ie: bbs:zeus/outbound vs zeus:outbound (bbs is the drive name, zeus is the assign to the zeus dir on bbs)


Now we'll see if it's stable.

how is coding in c going ? :)

what i like you to try is to put binkd in bbs: and start it from there with NO assigns in binkd.cfg

what amiga does there is to use PROGDIR:zeus/outbound voila

or maybe its need to be with assigns, what does snoopdos say ?

Now we'll see if it's stable.

got a point ? :)

The thing called "RL" gets in the way. Although today's I've had some time
to get some more work on the Zeus based system done.

Using the real paths has worked. I now have a stable working Binkd on the amiga, and will be getting other parts fixed and edited.
