    along in the BW packet, perhaps? AI> Are you speaking of kludges being strippe

    blank the value if you want to turn kludge support off.That seems to have worked. Thank you! I see all the kludgyness glory now.But I wonder if we still have the stripped-CRs problem with this upload, as soon as i finish

    Well,

    Sorry to say that is one ugly mess..

    I am evaluating options now and awaiting feedback.

    Hi! August,

    * SeM. 2.26 * Astronauts are out to launch.

    Yes! Much better. Simply sublime. mate. It makes me want to revive
    my SemPoint in the wreckage of my original Fido node.


    SemPoint is a very nice program for a BBS-esque experience (extensive tagline options/stealing, etc; many other configurable options, all in a nice GUI style to look great in Windows). Albiet, it is _16bit._ I am using it here with WinXP.

    To bring it up do date (that is, tcp/ip), it would need a little help with BinkD. The manual method with BW or QWK is not my preference. But it could work for a n00bie getting aquainted with bbsing.

    * SeM. 2.26 * Malicious error. Desqview found on drive.

    I am secretly working on this task. So far the left side of my brain is unaware of my evil plot. It's the thought of running Windows again that needs justifying.

    In a sysop (or point operator) situation it performs extremely well using binkD, with a good tosser.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Remember that mess that was all smooshed together when August uploaded BW packets to BBBS here a week or three ago?

    Kim pointed me to an updated BBBS that hopefully supports the BW rep packets with simply CR instead of CR/LF or LF EOL.

    If his reply looked OK to you (and others) I'll let Kim know that that update has successfully overcome that situation.

    Although I knew it was a dupe, I've had a sleep since then.

    Sweet.

    Okay, it was well-formed enough to have fun with. If it was good for you then it was good for me too. ;)

    Cheers,
    Paul.
