Luciana, I would be happy to place the files on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU in the
following directory there:  mirrors/pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/

I have Silly Little Mail Reader, Jabber, and Q-Mail Deluxe.  These are all
shareware and require registration for continuing use after a short period.
I also have the Mega-Mail Door which is Free-ware by Kip Compton who does the
PC-Relay Software, now Post-Link Software.  I have other specific Offline
Mail Readers such as EZ-Reader, however, I think the version available on my
system is rather outdated (Version 1.38) and somewhat buggy.  What would you
like for me to stick up on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU ?

Is there a Unix version of WW IV?  I'd be running the BBS on a

Hi, no, I am not involved in Fido at all.  The flie QWKLAY16.ZIP,
however, is available by anonymous ftp from SIMTEL and its
associated mirror sites.  File in <msdos.info> directory.

The moderator of Fido's Off-line echo has mentioned something
about starting a distribution network for off-line related files,
so that should help all boards which want to keep up with
off-line related files.

Organization: gisle@ifi.uio.no

Originator: gisle@gyda.ifi.uio.no

Subject: Trivia Challenger (Trivia game for PC-based BBS'es)
                    Trivia Challenger is Available!

Trivia Challenger is a quiz game to be installed as a BBS door,  or for
standalone use.  It features more than  1500 questions in ten different
categories  (Movies,  Rock music,  Science,  The  Arts, etc.).  It  has
consistently  proved  the  MOST  POPULAR  door on the BBSes where it is
installed, with more daily users than such old favorites as Global War,
King of the Board and Operation Overkill II.

If you want to evaluate this game on your PC / BBS, please send me
mail asking for "Trivia Challenger", and I'll mail you the uuencoded
archive.

Included in  the archive  is a special installation/maintenance program
that  automates most of the SysOps task in installing,  setting up  and
maintaining the door.

Trivia Challenger should work with BBS systems compatible with PCBoard,
Mike's BBS (MBBS),  WILDCAT! systems,  GAP BBS,  SPITFIRE BBS and other
systems  using standard  DOOR.SYS  file along with  RBBS-PC,  QuickBBS,
Remote Access  and  other  systems  using  DORINFOx.DEF  files.  Trivia
Challenger will also utilize a file called GENERIC.SYS.  This file will
allow Trivia Challenger to work on ANY BBS system.

Trivia Challenger's features include interrupt driven I/O, 16550AN UART
support, and FOSSIL support.

Trivia Challenger features:
   * Unlimited number of quiz tables.  You may mix several tables  in a
     single door, or have separate doors for separate topics.
   * Add your own and your user's questions to the quiz tables! You can
     also create and maintain your own quiz categories.
   * More than  30 different  parameters for  customization,  making it
     possible to configure the game in a highly personalized manner.
   * Individual questions can be configured  for  players  to match the
     correct  answer,  to  "fill in the blanks",  or  to select  from a
     multiple choice menu.

Trivia Challenger is shareware (cost US$ 20 or NOK 100).

The  evaluation  archive is a fully functional game,  but have the fol-
lowing limitations compared to the full, registered version:
   * It will not generate bulletins.
   * It only admits up to 10 players each day.
   * The functions to merge new questions and categories into
     the quiz tables are disabled.

I have written an often referred to file on the QWK
specification.  The latest version is QWKLAY16.ZIP.  I can
uuencode it over to you if you want.  It is also available on
Lunatic Fringe BBS at (214) 422-2936 USR HST DS v.32bis.  The BBS
is known as 'QWK Central' because it has a lot of QWK related
files on-line.

Hi, all...

I am sysop for a QBBS system, and need software that will allow me to
bill users based on their time online, downloads, etc.

Does such a utility/door exist?



ALSO:


I am in search of a text-file browser door that would allow a user to
enter the door, search a list of filenames/descriptions, and then view
selected ones.  Kind of like a download door, except with viewing 
capabilities.



Any help with any of this would REALLY just MAKE MY DAY! 

Thanks a zillion!

I believe that the problem is that there is no way to give the serial
port as input to the shelled DOS session -- because the OS/2
application window running the BBS has it.  Multitasking OS's won't
let you hand hardware assets around like that.  I've been told that
there is a way around this using OS2YOU, but I've never used that so
couldn't state this absolutely.

Probably, and I would expect it to be DOG SLOW running over anything

Look at PCAnywhere from Symantec.  I've not used it personally, but it does
windowing in VGA.  All it does is send the commands over the phoen system,
and makes your local system draw the same boxes that are drawn on the remote
system.  This seems like a good way of doing things.  And it shouldn't be
as bad as trying to send a lot of picture data.

I am looking for a software that will allow connects with IPX or TPC/IP.   I 
want to open a BBS for a large Novell based network that includes message 
bases, file down and uploads and above all Door games.  

What out there.  PD or SW my first choice but would look at all options.

Not yet, but there might be eventually.  There are no solid plans right now.
WWIV 5.0 *might* be for UNIX.

Is there a FidoNet BBS it can be FREQed from? I try to keep as much QWK ( -- actually any OLR -- ) material on hand as possible.
