Points to a need for a decent installation program, as I've recently noted
in another post.

I have some questions in my own mind on the suitability of such people in
regards to their actions a good net.citizens.  It has been argued that the
US government was not truly established with all persons in mind, but rather
for the so-called cultural elite.  I'm not so sure that that idea is not
widely held on the Usenet, and, as I've just said, I've not yet made up
my own mind if I look forward to such a situation.

My apologies if that sounds elitist or biased, but it is only my attempt to
illustrate one major road-block ahead of the "offline readers for the masses"
crowd, namely that the majority of the so-called powers-that-be on the Usenet
(if there are such animals) would rather it just didn't happen!

I just ran into this one yesterday.  It seems if you include a From line
and any other desired headers, they all show up.  Rmail will fill in the
missing ones just fine.  But without a From, rmail will do all the
headers itself and place whatever headers you included in the message
body.  (this is using 'rmail address < file')

> Leave an extra space after your system name, and before the date.

Actually, you can leave the date out completely.  As long as the first
line in the message is

From username

rmail will take it just fine and use whichever headers you provide.

When the manual on how to use the packaged set of eight is 300 pages,
requiring 10 hours of reading before use of the screwdrivers, it might make
sense for the novice do-it-yourself guy to buy the one, simple screwdriver
with the 10 page manual and 15 minutes of familiarization time.

Like it or lump it, John, Waffle IS too complex for the ordinary "sometime
user" to have to fool with. It may be worthwhile to may people to own one
tool that does what they need it to do, rather than a big heavy toolbox full
of unneeded tools.

I'm adding this to the followup I posted earlier today.

I'm running NDOS, and the ISO 8859-1 patch written by Kosta Kostis

Both of these were added to an already installed waffle 1.65, and
to make things more complicated, until about 6 weeks ago,
I never had any reason to mail anyone using a % in their address,
so I don't know if it ever worked anyway.

(Ah, the hazards of running a straw poll.....)

The question I'll pose to all you Waffle gurus is "how can I get waffle
to force a %% or ^X similar to get around this 4DOS/NDOS problem"
as sooner or later my users are going to run into the same problem and
scream at me when their mail bounces.

The buflines parameter in the static file controls this.  Be careful
that you don't exceed memory requirements--the larger the number of
buflines, the more memory you'll use, and the more likely the system
will not work as expected.

Try as I might, I am not able to forward mail which is intended for a
machine which no longer polls here.

I am currently using DOS waffle.  Incoming mail for this particular
machine is addressed as follows:

	user@machine.questor.org

or

	user@machine.questor.wimsey.bc.ca

I am attempting to forward the mail to a compuserve address, 
e.g:   76543.1234@compuserve.com

My aliases file entry has simply:

	user@machine.questor.org           76543.1234@compuserve.com
	user@machine.questor.wimsey.bc.ca  76543.1234@compuserve.com

Try as I might, it will not work.  There is no longer an entry for the
machine in question in my uucp\paths file.  In the paths file, I did
try:

	user@machine.questor.org           76543.1234@compuserve.com
	machine.questor.wimsey.bc.ca       76543.1234@compuserve.com

	.machine.questor.wimsey.bc.ca      76543.1234@compuserve.com


Am I missing something in the manuals, being excessively stupid, or
is this just not possible?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.   :-)

I'll just correct this little mistake.  The Helldiver Packet Format _can_
support QWK message files (or any kind of message really), but it hasn't
been officially defined yet.  Probably in verison 1.1 of the spec.

My first reader won't handle QWK, but I am tempted to put it in for a
future version.  For now I want to test out the viability of a USENET-only
packet format and allow people to get implementation experience with it.
Since the generators for the format are primarily intended to execute
on USENET systems, I don't see why anyone would want to convert a USENET
message into a QWK message. :-)

I'm working on a library of Helldiver Packet routines which should make
things a lot easier for programmers using the format.  It is entirely
possible that routines for handling QWK packets as well can be grafted into
the same library, but I'm not worried about that yet.  A door for Waffle
(and Unix systems in general) will be coming out with this library.

Cheers,

Rhys.

A commendable position!  But here's a suggestion you may want to
consider: Go ahead and decide how much you think the registration fee
will be whenever you start asking for one.  Announce that you are
accepting pre-registrations from anyone who likes Helldiver sufficiently
well to want to support its further development.  Those who pre-register
would automatically become registered users when the time comes.

Just a thought.

It certainly makes sense when the 8 screwdrivers require a complicated
"preparation" and then "training" phase before you can start using them!

The average user wants a simple program with pull-down menus, etc. to
sign on, retrieve any new messages, perform any file transfers as
required, and then sign off.  I mean, look at the success and simplicity
of the All-In-One mail front-end, the CompuServe Information Manager, Elm,
Pine, etc.  

Users don't want to spend 2 to 3 weeks getting things working properly, 
and then the rest of time tweaking and perfecting something just to do
the same thing.  Waffle as an automatic transfer mechanism/reader/etc. 
is *fantastic*.  But for admins, not users.

Having created a Usenet file with 1660 entries I now get a STACK OVERFLOW!
message when I post.
