When the software runs without user action, why should there be a need
for pull-down menus? Waffle will quite happily sign on, retrieve, etc.,
without the user touching a button. I certainly don't expect any of my
cron tasks to pop up a menu asking me what I want to do, for I expect
that most of the time I will be nowhere near the machine to use any
menus.

The version of Pine I have has no pull-down menus. 

CIM is a rather different story, for, even were the main CompuServe
software available to the general public, it would not run on a PC as
does Waffle.

I certainly wouldn't. And I didn't have to to get Waffle running,
either.

Waffle blurs the line between admin and user.

I have a Waffle BBS running on a LAN Manager-networked PC, and I'm hoping to  
set up another machine on the network that will act as a second node.  I've  
moved the USER, SPOOL, TEMP, and FILES directories on a server with the  
appropriate permissions, without too many problems, so that Waffle running on  
the second machine can share information with the first.

My application requires having a different user interface on the second  
machine, which I can do by having unique ADMIN, INFO, LOCAL, SYSTEM, TEXT,  
etc. directories on each machine.  The WAFFLE=c:\waffle (something like that)  
line in the STATIC file tells Waffle to look for most of the important  
directories under \waffle, and the one that creates the problem is the  
PASSWORD file.  I want to be able to keep the password file common between the  
two nodes.

Is there a better way to do all of this?  Will I run in to other problems?

Thanks,

Eric

I think that was a problem with DR-DOS, not 4dos.  I haven't seen any
problems with my stamp file under DOS 3.3 and 4dos, except for New
Year's morning.  My clock driver is smart enough to catch the day change

Murphy had his way and it turns out that the UUFIX program I posted had a
bug that can cause it to lock up on some systems.  I think I've squashed it
and when a more thorough test is completed, I'll post the archive again.

Anyone who is using UUFIX v1.00 should be aware of this, and may wish to
stop using it or at least keep an eye on it.

I've tried to get a full screen console editor working with little 
success. Would appreciate any help relative to the following. 
I specified the editor (tried Qedit and several others) in my Admin setup 
as the console editor. I edited the _editors file to specify the commands 
for running, turning the top menu bar off, etc. and the individual 
command file for the editor. I can get the editor to work just fine when 
I invoke it via whatever command I have set up for it e.g. qedit when I 
want to just edit a file in my dos directory. When I got to mail however, 
I can specify the send addres and then when the system goes to put me 
into edit mode, I get dumped out of mail (can't remember the message, 
something like "send aborted"). Nothing I do seems to make a difference. 
What have I neglected to do?? I will admit that I don't know for sure if 
some of the other editors I have tried do direct screen writes or not, 
but I thought that at least qedit was supposed to work. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But my point is that Waffle puts a blank line in automatically before the
SIG file and in some cases limits the SIG file itself to five lines.  I don't 
want both the blank line and the "-- " line, and I don't want the "-- " line
to count against the SIG file line count.  The obvious answer (IMHO) is to
replace the blank line with a "-- " line.  I suppose the way to please every-
body is to make the contents of the line be settable in the static file.  Or
do away with the blank line and relax the SIG file line limit; then the user
can put his own blank line or "-- " line in the SIG file itself.

if you look at what you posted, you'll see that this is the SECURITY 
screen. use ADMIN * test ... i forget what the screen is called but 
there is one that says "Allow access to the Files"... if that is set to 
"NO" then they will not be able to access the files area no matter what

Putting the parameters in double quotes works fine. It should be noticed in
the documentation, because without doc it is very difficult to find out the
reasons for problems like this.
I thank all that have send me help to resolve the problem.

Lots of systems produce bad "From " lines.  Therefore the "From " line is not

Under Unix, the impact is not large.  I have buflines set to 1536,
1500 newsgroups in my active file, and some other non-configurable
internal tables cranked up some; the process size under Xenix/386 is
still under 400k.  This is 1/20th the maximum process size on my
system.  I suppose it might be a problem on a '286 Unix system that's
starved for memory, or on a Tandy 6000, but if you're using one of
these, you need to have your head examined for more kinds of insanity
than just using Waffle. :-)

Waffle also seems to run fairly well on a system busy with VM paging;
it doesn't need to go scratch 'n sniff every second byte when you do
anything, unlike some of the other programs I use.  (Unfortunately,
one exception to this is the initial load-- it can take a long, long
time on a system busy with stuff, and I've often seen users drop
the line thinking the BBS was dead.)

I've found this whole thread a bit puzzling, since I'd never heard that the
"--" that some people use to introduce their signatures meant anything.  But
if some programs are written to recognize it as a signature delimiter, why 
not have Waffle insert it automatically, in place of the blank line that Waf-
fle puts there now?  One benefit would be that it wouldn't have to count
against the 5-line limit that Waffle sometimes enforces.

Incidentally, I suppose that the argument in favor of the trailing blank is
that this would allow the user to put in "--" lines without the blank and not
have them interpreted as signature delimiters.

There is a BASIC program available from the SIMTEL archives to do this
along with an explanation of how to use it.

You email the ASCII basic program, and use it to uudecode the uudecode
binary for your machine (is that recursive or what??)
The uucoding algorithm must be quite simple really.....

BTW: can someone explain the difference between UUcoding and XXcoding?
    I've been looking in news answers, but haven't seen any FAQs which
    cover it yet. ( Or my eyes are painted on. One or the other...:-)

That's why i offer my users a  "pre-configured" mini-version of Waffle 
for their personal use.  They fill out a form asking such pertinent 
things as modem port and speed, newsgroups to include, etc... then I 
custom configure a setup for them, ZIP it and send them a note to 
download it on their next connect.  POLL.BAT, LOGIN.BAT, SENDFILE.BAT & 
GETFILE.BAT are all they need to know as they handle all the transactions 
and maintenance.

Then if they want more, they can DL the full package.

All the screwdrivers you need - or want....

You should *never* rewrite headers to something that you can't accept when
given back at you (i.e. the foo^bar^baz stuff that you said bounces).  If
your site can handle RFC822 headers (which Waffle can), then there's no
reason for them to do *any* header rewriting when sending to you.
