Hi Folks!
     When I've got incoming mail from off-site, the mail list screen is
screwed up. What I mean is the following:

1-- (Real Name (me@place.of.bu) Date etc.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Shouldn't this read the full address? (IE: place.of.business) Was there a
reason this was cut off? Is it a config problem? I know, I know, this is a
dumb question, but the only difference between ignorance and stupidity is
that the ignorant don't realize they don't know. The stupid just don't
ask!! :-)

     Well, the reason I don't like it is that it isnt consistent,
especially when reading long posts/mail. It has a tendancy to "catch" a
line of the article in question, and leave it hanging up top, in place of
the status bar. This problem is internal to Waffle. I'm a single user
site, so I don't use doors, etc. If I want it done, I just drop to dos to
do it! :-)

Not only would it not be very difficult, it would already be done.  I also
have a script to automatically add newsgroups to the USENET file with
/name="description", so if you've got memory to spare in Waffle you can give
all your newsgroups the descriptions.

I'm moving this afternoon, and it'll take me a couple of days to get

my two scripts into releasable form.

I was wondering if maybe someone who runs Waffle under Windoze 3.1 would

No, Bill is correct.  RFC-822 has not been obsoleted by any other RFC.
The half-dozen RFC's after 822 include things like X.400 and encoding,
which are irrelevant to the situation.

Define the word "appropriate".  The problem is even if you read
every RFC, you probably won't come up with a fool-proof definition of
"appropriate" in this context.  Internet gateways are by definition
Internet-connected, and as such, are reqired by RFC 1123 to allow
RFC 822 mail.  UUCP sites do not apply here.  Would you expect ALL
Internet sites to conform to RFC 976?

It was really not a question, but more of an admonition.  I'm sure that many
have been in the same boat as yourself.  What is truly remarkable is that,
despite 1.64 being a fairly decent package, so many have said "I ain't forking
over any money until the NEXT fairly decent package comes along."  I fail to
understand this mode of thinking.

Hey, no flames.  Just opinion.

First Note: I have the messyDOS version.  I run a unixie shell and
sometimes people get confused ;-).

From a quick preusal this appears to be the important differences
between beta 10 and the release.  Since my .BAT files, shell scripts,
menus and other like things have been modified I didn't even try to
see what had changed with those.  I plan on copying the stuff from
column B into the working system.  Will let everyone know if there are
any problems.

[Note to Tom:  It would make things lots easier if we could get a list

It works with UNIX Waffle 1.65.  It doesn't really care, as it just
reads the traditional news spool.  It would be different if the

It doesn't work well with 640K of free memory under DESQview.  I
need an ansi driver to load within a window that will do the
appropriate key re-mapping, and ANSI.COM and DVANSI don't cut it.
There's something called DGANSI (sp?) that may work, and I'll
look in to it.

Also, Budi...


$ENV{'VISUAL'} = 'vi';

This works fine (I'm actually using stevie for unix in place
of vi, because some folks enjoy the builtin help of stevie).

if (undef($ENV{'VISUAL'}) ) { $ENV{'VISUAL'} = 'vi'; }

This failed with brn still looking for the editor.  I'll
work on some permutations and see what flies.

In the latest installment in the continuing series, "What's My Fax
Software?", we look at the DOSFax Pro package by Delrina, makers of the
infamous WinFax.  DOSFax is WinFax without Windows, essentially.

Bottom line:  Waffle sysops, look elsewhere.  Okay as a generic fax
package, but totally incompatible with Waffle.

The program retails (at CompUSA) for $49.95.  Despite the money-back
guarrantee on the package I called Delrina and asked if it would work.
"No problem," they said.  So I bought it.

Reading the manual it appeared that you could either let DOSFax answer
the phone, or you could answer yourself and use a hot-key combination
(or a menu option) to kick it into immediate receive mode.  I looked
for a similar command-line option; no luck.  So I called Technical
Support and described what I wanted:  My BBS can detect fax
connections, I just need to be able to call a program to receive the
transmission.  "Oh, it won't do that," the rep said, "but it sounds
like it might be an interesting option to add later."  When will these
DOS programmers ever learn that you don't ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE AT THE
BLEEDIN' KEYBOARD TO FEED KEYSTROKES TO THE PROGRAM?!?!?  I didn't
point out that their sales department told me it could be done, I just
accepted that Sales generally doesn't know more than what's on the
one-page spec sheet.

I naturally am taking advantage of the money-back guarrantee.

Next?

Perhaps you need to check out your hardware or that on the receiving systems.
I did not have ANY trouble either receiving at 2400 (when I was a 2400 baud

I use an alias to login locally (since cybrspc isn't public), and
discovered that 'waffle local user' gets you the "(captive mode)"
message.  However, if you 'waffle local' and login from the intro
screen, you can login to a different account with no problem.  I've
since gotten back in the habit of logging in this way, so I can skip
over to the root account account when necessary.  It also keeps my call
counter up to date.  ('waffle local user' doesn't update the 'number of

Some of us sent him the registration fee before 1.65 was even a gleam in
his eye.  I've been on board since 1.61.  How about you?

And, by the way, what's this some people are saying about getting their
1.65 update in the mail?  I've never received anything from Mr. Dell.
My copy of 1.65 was FTPed for me by a friend.  Before that, I always
downloaded the new versions from the Darkside BBS, and ate the cost of
the long-distance call.

Well, uh, why didn't you say "My status bar is catching pieces of messages
and keeping them there", instead of "How do I disable the status bar"?

I've used Waffle locally extensively, and haven't had this problem except
when some ANSI driver was loaded.  Do you have an ANSI driver loaded?  Do
you have anything funny going on with your video?  What kind of video card
do you have?  (I suspect that the scrolling problem occurs in the nefarious
lower right corner -- if a character gets printed in the lower right corner,
then your status bar gets messed up.  That's why it only happens occasionally.)

Well, two reasons.  1.  At the time I installed 1.64 I was out of work

I saw that in the docs too, and thought "NOW I've got a real use for my
Supra faxmodem!"  So I asked around on the net.

I got pointed to a package called "DOSFax", made by Delrina Software,
the makers of the infamous WinFax.  It's essentially WinFax without
needing Windows, from what I gather.  The box didn't specify whether or
not it would run properly after Waffle had already picked up the
phone.  I called Delrina today and they assured me that yes, it could
do that, and yes, I could call it with command-line options to send a
fax.

We'll see.  I'm running down to the local CompUSA to pick up the
package when I leave work in half an hour or so.  It retails for $49.95
and has a 60 day money back guarrantee.  I figure even if it doesn't
work like they say, I still won't be out more than postage to send it
back.

Full report will be forthcoming.  I figure I'll need to write a

PERL or MKS KornShell, and I'll post whatever I come up with.
