    Did you think that Tom Dell was doing everyone a service
    by adding folders to the mail section? Well think again.

    My user directory is full of nice little folders with 
    everything filed away neatly where I can never find it.

    Heaven help me if I type "MAIL *".

I don't get it, I'm STILL having color problems here...I've tested this on two
machines, one VGA the other MONO and still no luck!  I have tried setting
video: bios and video: ansi and ;video: and none of them yield proper results. 
I've also tried this on 1.64, and 1.65b9 and still no go.  I am running DOS
v5.0 with Lantastic v4.0, and have NANSI.SYS in config.sys...  Any ideas?

Also, will 1.65 release have a /DOOR option (or something like that) to allow
WAFFLE to be run as a door off a BBS?  Right now I have my setup so that when a
caller calls in they get my FidoNet mailer, can press ^A 3 times and go to
WAFFLE or press ESC to go to the BBS (Where they run the DOOR to load WAFFLE).
It would be nice to have them back.. :)

Any help on these two issues is greatly appreciated!  Oh, and I'm also looking
for a external NEWS READER that will work from remote and looks like the one
that VAX/VMS has...

    I am not even going to say anything about using mix mode (!@) 
    addresses :-) The same problem manifests itself when using # hacks.

    If a local user tries to send to a neighbor with an address such
    as this, Waffle barfs on it.  This is a shame since rmail handles 
    just fine.  Waffle 1.65 b10 also has the same problem.

    Anyone have an easy solution?

Try (for remote use):

wordstar /screen /access=1 /command="command /c f:\waFFLE\BIN\FSED /P2
/h24 /l245 +f:\WAFFLE\BIN\wordstar.cfg +f:\WAFFLE\BIN\DOSANSI.CFG %i"

For local use:

local    /screen /access=9 /command="command /c f:\waFFLE\BIN\FSED
/h24 /l245 -c %i"

The latter is for the regular default 'ansi' editor.

Use FSED :-)  Or switch to ste{vi}e.  ({}'s ours).

I'm confused. I keep a junk directory (keep=10) and I tried this and
it works fine. I then deleted the junk directory and it still worked.
(with the entry for it removed from the usenet file too). Junk will
arbitrarily bitbucket any messages to newsgroups marked with /junk,
giving the message __________ has gone to visit Elvis.

What are you talking about? Did I misunderstand what you were saying?

why pay the 150.00 for Coherent if you can run Linux for free ?
I posted trivial patches fro compiling Waffle under linux to c.b.w.

I also have elm, cnews, tin, etc. running fine...a full featured USENET

I have a similar setup, and reply works just fine! I feed korova, which is not
on the net. When I send mail to korova!system@brewich.uucp it goes just fine,
and so does korova!system because korova is in my system file. It just sends it
straight to her, with no intermediaries. No smarthost required. Maybe your 
PATHS file might help?

   Thanks for the info.  I have access to FSED and WWIVEDIT... I like 
WWIVEDIT, but it seems mainly for WWIV. :)  I can understand how it 
doesn't work well with Waffle, but I always liked the random tagline

    I know of a couple of tools.  I am working on a GroupSystems (U of
    Arizona GDSS toolkit) tool which is primarily intended for pre-design
    work in architecture - but some of its features might be extendible
    into the design phase.  Mark Pendergast of the University of Florida
    and Ventana Corporation (pendergast@ventana.com) has developed a tool
    called GroupGraphics which is a robust group graphics editor.  It will
    be demoed by Ventana at Groupware '92.  I am making use of his tool for
    architecture pre-design.

    I recently returned from the "Design and Decision Support Systems in
    Architecture" conference in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.  At the
    conference there was one other individual who presented a paper about
    multi-user graphics systems.  If you are interested, send me e-mail and
    I will dig out his name for you.  He is based in Britain and is trying
    to set up a distributed design environment in Britain and New Zealand. 
    It was interesting - but I do not know far along his actual work is.

    I question your statement that "CAD seems to be heading towards
    cooperative design."  I have seen no evidence that this is the case in
    practice - and have run into considerable hostility when broaching the
    topic with practicing architects.  Most architects view design as
    inherently an individual activity.

Greetings!

I am trying to find out if the following exists as a purchasable
entity:

An "action register" or "issue management system", which would allow
for assigning actions to one or more individuals. These actioned
individuals could then post follow-up comments to the actions, and
there could be give-and-take between actioner and actionee, as well
as others who could be "copied" on the actions. Ideally, dates could
be assigned to the actions, which could be closed by the actioner
upon completion. Screens for selection, summary view, detail CRUD,
etc. as appropriate.

The desire, obviously, would be for Mac and Windows clients, over
wide-area Ethernet, with a data or database server.

If not for security and user interface issues, I would suggest
USENET or even PacerForum, but neither quite meet the need exactly.
Bear in mind that our customers for this application are largely
novice executive-level types.

Any and all information would be happily received. Please e-mail to
falconer@bnr.ca and I will post a summary when I have something
conclusive to put together.

I have posted this to comp.sys.mac.wanted and comp.groupware and I
will try for AppleLink as well. I would be grateful for suggestions
of other places to post.

Thanks!

We are looking for a multi-user scheduling system for our Admissions
Office.  The app would act like the typical doctor's office appointment
book where a receptionist (actually 1 of 4 receptionists) could view the
schedule for each interviewer and schedule candidate interviews.

Some features that we're looking for:

- everyone can see all the interviewer schedules, but only a select group
 can modify any of the schedules
- allows interviewer to block out time during which they are engaged in
other activities and not available for interviews.  These time blocks
would be scheduled as repeating events, daily for a selected time period.
- reporting would let a manager see how the interviewers are scheduled
and would allow tracking a candidate's visit
- system would allow the receptionist to enter notes about a candidate
that would be displayed for a selected appointment

We've looked at Meeting Maker and Front Desk.  Front Desk comes closest,
but doesn't have the flexibility we want for the interviewer to modify
their calendar.  Meeting Maker won't show all interviewer schedules in an
appointment book format.

I'm interested in any experiences with commercial schedulers used in
medical or legal offices, or College Admissions Offices.  I'm also
interested in any custom packages that might be available for sale.

Please email your replies, I'll post a summary if there is sufficient
interest.

Groupware in Deutschland?

I would like to hear from German companies, institutions etc. who use
Groupware products.
I'm working on a piece for Deutsche Welle, the German short-wave radio
station, and would like to include some first-hand accounts.
What is it used for?
How has it canged things are done in the office?

thanks
