  • trying again

    From Rick Smith@1:105/10 to All on Fri Dec 23 07:11:32 2022
    Greetings All!

    I am still waiting to find a working copy of lorabbs but decided to give max a try again.. before I get too deep in it I would like to ask a couple of you experts a couple things.

    I carry a lot of message areas, can I import them either with backbone.na or something similar? They already are on the machine I am running arca on in squish format which I am running hpt/binkd and golded to read. Will max read my current msg base?

    Since I have a working mailer and tosser currently can I incorporate that into max, I assume I can but just making sure.

    give max a try again.. before I get too deep in it I would like to ask

    backbone.na or something similar?

    i wrote a bash script for generating a nice msgarea.ctl file, but it was only because my rexx knowledge is rusty, i think there are some small utilities which can synchronize maximus with a backbone.na... i don't remember, but maybe AMU ?

    They already are on the machine I
    am running arca on in squish format which I am running hpt/binkd and golded to read. Will max read my current msg base?

    it can read squish format natively, so no problem should occur.

    i am generating the msgarea.ctl from squish.cfg and filearea from nef.cfg which i am grabbing via ftp from the os/2 computer. the ftp script is not included in the bundle, but if you need it just let me know.

    here you can grab the script, if you have any questions please ask. it is a very dirty code, many improvements can be done on it, but you will get the idea if you check them :)
