You can get my package, Omega Point/2 BBS, for OS/2. The 2 line shareware
version can be downloaded from my BBS at 404-564-1961. Commercial versions
supporting up to 48 lines, usenet news, and internet mail are available.

Log on, or e-mail me if you have any questions...

Hi everyone.

I decided to try and make Waffle look a little better and design some 
ANSI screens for the login sequence (as the BBS wimps like these things).

I made an attractive screen (took me two hours) and replaced the 'entry' 
file with it.  Now, when a caller connects they see the attractive screen 
and are then asked for their login information.  This works fine.

However, things go "bump" when attempting a site calls via UUCICO to send 
me some mail/news.  I've simulated this on my other computer to find out 
what is happening, the modems connect, UUCICO begins looking for the 
'NEW:' prompt (this is Waffle UUCICO btw) but instead is inundated with 
this ANSI screen stuff.

It doesn't even let 4 ANSI lines go by before it gets uppity and says, 
"Login failed, never got NEW:".

Any tunable parameters for this?

Thanks in advance.

Well, that's nice in theory, but I like to see the system actually being 
used.  For us admin types, a command line isn't something to be feared, 
but desired.  Average BBS users want a soft, colorful and fluffy 
interface.  Not a stone cold and grey COMMAND>.

Maybe he is used to rn or some other slightly more mainstream version
of news reader. :)  I do not have 1.65 up yet but have been wondering
about this form of the same question.  I personally like a little
more screen oriented news reading.  I received 14 Megabytes of news
to my Waffle 1.64 last night and browsing groups before reading is
where I spend most of my time.  Waffle works fine but is not as "user
friendly" as I have seen in other readers.  I'm waiting for Chrome. 
Should be quite nice.

Hello all:

Minor bug in 1.64 to report.  I can't enter more than 80 chars in a
_Subject:_ line.  Also, when I receive a Usenet message, it truncates
the _Subject:_ line to the first 80 chars.  I only noticed it because
a very long subject line was chopped in a strange place.  Thought you
should be aware.

I would never use ANSI in a logon screen, you never know if the caller's
terminal supports ANSI. If you want ANSI screens, put them after the logon 
screen, and at the users request only (if that's possible(!)), thus 
letting the choice of having ANSI to the user.
I always prefere not having ANSI at lower baudrates because it slows
things down a lot.

Register the version you have with Tom Dell, then when 1.65 is out he'll mail

This statement makes me wonder what Tom's position is on this.
I've written a utility or two to work with Waffle.  However, this
tool basically amounts to taking some of Waffle and rearranging it
and giving it a command line interface.  Am I allowed to redistribute
this for free with source?  For free w/out source?  Can I sell it?

There are no "hooks" in Waffle for a new file section.  It required
a rewrite of some of the code.  (Specifically the "switch" section).
Not difficult at all, but I couldn't give you anything but a redone
files.{c,o} if Tom allowed it.  There would be no "external" file
section.  I mean it could be rewritten that way, but that's up to Tom
I suppose.

Anyone in the Sandy Eggo area running Waffle (DOS or UNIX)?
Curious who else is out here locally is using the same BBS/UUCP
software.

I know of 4 or 5 systems just from reading the news but would
like to find more.  Interested in trading tips, UUCP accounts,
etc.  Is everyone using Crash Time Share as host?

I am running Waffle V1.65 (beta 7) currently, having just moved
up from V1.64 this past week.  Hardware is a 386-33 4Meg, 250 Meg
PC clone running DR-DOS V6.0.  This beta release is running
nicely here.        --Mike

OOPS, you missed the header, 1.65 allows for mail folders, of which I've

Just select the permissions to prevent people from sending mail to the

        Well, since I started all this I guess I should speak up.  I 
would be wary about turning an unchecked Zmodem loose on any Unix box in 
the world, but I know the DOS side very well and it's a perfectly safe 
protocol.  I think your fears are unfounded (this is not directed at you, 
Rick :-), but at whoever first argued it was a bad idea).  
        When I get something working for the DOS world, we'll see.  If 
it's a total flop, then I'll re-evaluate my position, but I think that 
you're blowing this all out of proportion.

Hi there.  Just thought I'd follow up on this -- I was able to get the 
UUCICO to work by adding tons of \c's to the script.

You are correct, it's terrible!  The UUCICO connection takes a ton-o-time 
to login, not to mention that all the 8-bit characters get the high bit 
stripped off and the UUCICO caller sees a bunch of garbage instead of 
nice extended-graphics characters.

Anyone considering those 'bbs-type' opening ANSI screens, leave 'em for 
the 'welcome' message as Ralph recommends.

Thanks for your comments!

No, no, NO! I left this group around the beginning of 1992 due to 
feed problems. At that time the discussion about changing to the 
mainstream was in progress. My last message was I hoped to find 
the group in the sampe shape as I left no matter where it would 
be located. Now I find my evil dream confirmed: If the above comes 
true I will no longer be able to find everything useful for the 
use of waffle within one group. Especially I won't get 
comp.binaries.* so all the useful small utilities will never get 
here. And I like most of the helpful programs that I received via 
alt.bbs.waffle. If the price for changing to comp is splitting up 
the present contents of the group into different groups let's 
remain within alt.*.
My opinion will probably not change anything as votes are already 
collected. But the above change shouldn't be made. Keep all waffle 
related topics in _one_ group. At last as long as there isn't 
enough traffic to split.

Precisely!  I have been running a BBS for 8 years.  I have no
interest whatever in the average user.  In general, my system
has 50 to 100 users who have been active in the last few months,
and that is plenty.

Waffle's interface is sorta like an employment application - while
it's no darned good at helping to find good people, it can separate
the chaff.

  While SIMTEL and oak.oakland.edu don't show up, I suspect you'd find
it there as well.

No, actually, I'm using MS-DOS.  Waffle under UNIX doesn't answer the
phone.  I just purchased the source code.  It's been extremely useful,
not only in allowing me to customize result codes (my ZyXEL returns, i.e.,
CONNECT 38400/V.32b 14400/V.42b), but to be able to answer my and
others' questions about how it actually _does_ work.

Oh, you mean like "slow:" in the static file?
