        Try looking at BlueWave 2.11, a few minor bug fixes.  I never had 
that problem with 2.10, might have been your setup, but if it was a bug and 
I just didn't notice it, I'd imagine it's been fixed (kind of hard for 
something like that to slip by beta testers).  I don't use BlueWave, but 
enjoy evaluating shareware, and play around with it and many other .QWK 
readers whenever a new version comes out.

Geez.. as not to ignite any more "my OS is better than your OS" flames,
MS-DOS users could try rus-news v0.97 available at halcyon.com. 
 
MS-WINDOWS users should try HELLDIVER. It's neat.

Thats 100% right. But for a dialin user, this approach is very similar
to a off-line mail reader or sometimes better.

I take it you're referring to the following lines from USER.DOC:

  Cookies may not contain '|' characters. They are also not
  permitted to contain Bufu. The exact definition of Bufu is
  left as an exercise to the reader.

Unnecessarily obscure, I agree.  But remember that Waffle is at least
theoretically a BBS program, and that you're the sysop (or SYSTEM
0PERAT0R, as Tom Dell likes to put it).  USER.DOC is the manual for the
users, the people who dial up and attempt to use your BBS.  Since you're
in charge, it's up to you to decide what cookie submissions may or may
not contain.  Therefore, "bufu" can be loosely translated as "that which
the SYSTEM 0PERAT0R does not allow".

If, like me, you're running Waffle as a single-user mail-and-news
program, you can include anything you smegging well want to in your
cookies (except for |, of course).  If you do run it as a BBS, you will
probably want to modify USER.DOC before you give it to users, and spell
out exactly what you don't allow in cookie submissions: puns, lyrics
from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, campaign slogans for Pat Robertson,
or whatever ticks you off the most.  :-)

halcyon.com is an Internet site that supports mail-based-file-serving
and also anonymous ftp.

remote.halcyon.com is Ralph's 'old' home system.  It supports anon-uucp
if you can afford the call (forgot about the fact that it kind'a mirrors
the new halcyon).

Hi All,

  I noticed that elm (on *nix) has a nifty feature for dealing
with pests, which is to bounce any mail that you receive, if you
so choose. What I would like to do is figure out how to do that
with the messydos version of waffle AFTER you receive it.

Any help or ideas here appreciated.

Subject: miscellaneous unix waffle questions
Organization: Vince and Suzie's Underpowered PC
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1992 18:16:22 GMT

I have a mess 'o questions for those unix wafflers (hmmm...I didn't mean
it to sound quite like that) out there regarding how they have things set
up.

First the config:

	- Linux public domain *nix
	- Taylor UUCP 1.03
	- Elm2.4.17
	- Smail3.1.28
	- C-news
	- Trn2.2/Tin1.1p4/NN6.4.18
	- Waffle 1.65

All the Waffle to/from unix stuff like mail, news, etc. work just fine
as far as I can see...

And now for the questions...

1. I have all the /waffle/bin stuff set up with owner.group = bbs.bbs
	except the setname and mailin bianies, which are root.bbs and are
	also mode 4755...is that right?

2. When people mail from within Waffle to the Internet (ie...outside of waffle)
	the mail headers go out with the username of 'bbs', the owner of the 
	Waffle binary.  How can I get the headers to go out with the Waffle
	user's name so replies work (I already know about the mailin aliases
	I have to set up so Internet mail kicks to the waffle-only users) ?

	[...I might add that I don't have a /usr/ucb/mail command under linux
		and that I use 'elm' for it via a link since it's switch-
		compatible...]

3. What is the preferred way for people to mail to me/root/system so that 
	it kicks to the normal o/s shell (where I have 'real' Elm) ? I do
	all my work in the shell under 'X' and don't really want to get into
	Waffle too much if possible.

4. When I shell out of Waffle when logged in as a generic joe-user, and I
	do a 'whoami' at the shell level, it shows me as 'bbs' even though
	the username I was logged in as is a real shell user.  Shouldn't I
	be shown as 'myusername' in the shell ?

Is there anything else I need to know that's peculiar in unix Waffle 
that differs from the way DOS Waffle is set up and works ?

I'll be happy to summarize any responses and/or followups for Bill's FAQ...

Mail is not batched.  Mail is not expired.

News is.  And, yes, they would "lose" news if they didn't collect more
frequently than you run expire.  However, the same is true for QWK-based
offline readers, is it not?

I simply don't follow what you're trying to say.  Could you tell me what
you mean by "DOS seems to be going the command @filename where @filename
is a list of filenames on which the command operates (eg del @list.txt)" ??
I've not seen anything to indicate that @filename is used by MS-DOS in
any fashion.  Do you have inside info on MS-DOS 6.0?

As it stands, to run a windows app, it has to load WIN-OS2.  If you migrate
your ap to OS/2 desktop it still loads a form of WinOS/2.

Another person who doesn't understand how computer I/O really works...

For your information, "raw" mode is *FASTER* than text mode.  Text mode has
to do several things, like scan for newlines and ^Z's.  Raw mode just gets
the data from disk without processing it.

If Waffle were written to use raw mode instead of text, the impact would be
about 3-5 lines of code.  This would increase Waffle's size by maybe a
whopping 30 bytes.

The use of text mode was a *LAZY* decision (or an ommission, cause Tom forgot
about ^Z processing).  It doesn't change the fact that it is a BUG.

	I agree whole-heartedly.  Phil, you're off your rocker.  Waffle
should not have to "be compatable with itself".  Such a philosophy forces
you to stoop to the lowest common denomenator of features for an application.
It's just plain dumb.

	The solution for the ^Z problem in Waffle is to not put a ^Z in
DOS text file.  You're asking for trouble anyway.  Tom, it's not worth fixing
in Waffle unless you have some spare time to write your own DOS text I/O
routines.

Maybe. But ARJ runs in a 320k shell from Waffle. (make, list or extract)
I suppose if I were running Waffle in 256k there would be problems, but
for all practical purposes I doubt that anyone is out there running a
public Waffle on less than, say 512K.

Of course I'm prepared to eat my words ;).

Yes, well, that's not Waffle's bug, that's part of the CP/M ancestry of

But if his host isn't running software smart enough to do anything but
rmail user1
 or
rmail neighbor1!thathost!anotherhost!someuser
meaning it doesn't know how to send mail to someone not directly
connected to it and it doesn't know about domains then you'll probably
want to use hishost!bighost for your smarthost.  and if you have more
than one connection and they are in domains then you going to want them
your paths file even if they are all running smart software so that when
you send mail to user1@neighbor1.somewhere.org it won't have to go to
the smarthost first.
