We are a valid GBBS Pro V 1.3. We are interesting in using SuperTac 7.1
Is our GBBS version current enough? Where do we find the upgrade and how much?

Can we use the Zmodem protocol with Exfer? Thanks for any help.

Both companies are no longer contactable.

Does any one have a copy I can purchase for a reasonable fee or have infomation

I was somewhat concerned about the file being packed from HFS disks, given
the recent discussions we've been having about the problems with GSCii and
GSHK when HFS is involved.  However, if it un-shrank without any errors, then
you can assume that the file is okay.

The $11xx errors are loader errors, which would suggest that the file is NOT
okay.  Does it need to come first/last/after something in the system.setup
directory?  What else do you have in there?

Tyson,
     You would be much better off using some kind of file transfer like 
y-modem, z-modem or even, god forbid, kermit to get your files from your host
system to you //e.   In addition, such programs as sciibin and nulib (for
UNIX) virtually remove the need to ever download a file with 'bad CRCs'.  I
have a //e, with 128K and I successfully upload and download files all the time.
     When you are ftp'ing files from whatever site, it is sometimes necessary
to use binary transfer rather than ascii (which I believe is the default).  The
lack of binary transferring could very well be contributing to your CRC 
problem.  Try doing the ftp transfer in binary mode by typing binary<return>
before getting the file.
     Let me know how it goes - it shouldn't be a problem to upload or donwload.

We are diligently working on many new Technical Notes for a hopeful
(but not promised) May release.  The phrase "dozens and dozens" comes
to mind.

If you're expecting this to be "the 6.0 documentation," don't hold
your breath.  The Technical Notes will not be the ERSs or the descriptions
of all the new 6.0 features.  They will be the same kinds of subjects
Technical Notes have always had.

The official 6.0 documentation will be in some other form, and it
will probably cost money.  People continually ask me to put large sections
of various manuals into Technical Notes because TNs are free -- don't
expect that to happen for 6.0 documentation.

Hmmm...I tried putting an Applesoft program on the desktop, and I *am* able
to duplicate the problem.  For me, it only happens when I have just dragged
the icon onto the desktop.  If I leave and re-enter the Finder, it now has
a correct record of the file system the icon comes from.

Can anybody get it to goof up *other* than for an icon that has been dragged
to the desktop?  (That is, for an icon in a window, or an icon that was
already on the desktop when you enetered the Finder.)

I have to agree with the above. Seeing as the average active caller on my BBS
is under my age (I'm almost 19) and I've been running my BBS for almost 5 years
now, I have a pretty good idea what these sorts of people post. Most of these
guys do not talk about warez, etc (my policy on piracy may have something to
do with it) but are rather abusive to one another. I give them a board on my
BBS where they can unload on each other (but they MUST use an alias in this
section and can not mention any real names in here -- mainly for liability
reasons). Even the older "kids" like this area. The number of adults using the
area have increased over the past couple of months and it's a feature that many
users on my BBS enjoy (but it is set up so that people have no excuse that
they didn't know the rules, in other words, they have to send a request to me
for it to be in their new message scan ANd they have to read the disclaimer
each time they enter the area)

I try and guide the younger kids into mature forms of conversation. Some of
them take to it quite well, others don't. But for the most part, I don't
interfere with what they do, although recently, it got a little out of hand and
I had to step in and repremand a few people. I made them publicly appologize
for what they did. One did, and hte other, well, I haven't heard from them
yet. 

As a rule, most of the SysOps on the Big Island do not give the younger ones
a chance to make ammends when they screw up, but I do. Mainly because I was
there at one time. I guess that's why my users like me. 

IMHO, it's up to the younger SysOps to get the yonuger users involved with
BBSing and train them in the do's and don'ts of BBSing. Most of the older
SysOps don't want to have to deal with it, and that's fine. that's why it's up
to us!

Well, I called every Apple dealer in town this morning.  Most of them

it early enough to make it available by 5:00 pm EST on March 31, so maybe 
they should try to find out why they hadn't received it yet, and they all 
basically said, "Yeah, sure, O.K."

So is it possible that Apple neglected to ship any disks up the coast?

Did you set it to automatically connect to your shared disk at startup?
There is a delay if the disk isn't available (the Mac is off, or whatever).

I recommend turning -off- the automatic connecting at startup, and
instead make an EasyMount document that you can use to connect any time
you want (connect once using AppleShare Control Panel, select the shared
disk icon, choose Create Alias... from the Finder Extras menu).

If you have trouble turning off the auto-connect, you can throw out the
AppleShare.Prep file (somewhere in System...I forget whether it's
Desk.Accs, System.Setup, or CDevs!).
