assistant: RE: OS/2-native External Editors?

have
don'
Over the last few days, I've exchanged a couple of pieces of email with
eremy
Landvoigt, author of IceEdit.  His email address is:
jlandvoigt@hopserv.interhop.net
He tells me that he has thought about writing an OS/2 version because there
seems to be growing interest in the product.  But as of yet, I don't believe
he's started on the project.  Go ahead and email him.  Give him another
dge.
Anybody else reading this message, if you'd like to see a native-OS/2
xternal
editor, why don't you drop him a note as well?
Regards,
Mike

reason to go through all the &(^ to switch back and give up a much

LIke I told you in Netmail..I couldn't care less about Adept.  I have a

HMM, If I had hung in there I would have gotten thrown out of the Echo
just like you did and what would that accomplish?  I only enjoy beating
my head against a stone wall for a little while. :-)

Already have... its a nice product, however, the author doesn't meet the

Actually, right now you can't insert message areas, unless you put it in at
the end<which, by my standards is redundant>, Grouping the areas is
difficult... <IE: I want area 1 to have message areas 1-59, area 2 to have
areas 1-22, area 3 to have etc... not Area 1 to have 1-59, area two to have
60-82... for me, its very inconvinient and intollerable>
Next on my lists of BBS Blues are personal mail boxes.  What do I mean by
that?  Well, I would like a personal E-mail box for the users which is NOT
ASSOCIATED TO ANY MESSAGE CONFERENCE, IE: Synchronet for DOS or OS/2.  KBBS
has a private e-mail folder, a netmail folder, etc...
It does, however, you have to admit, KBBS does need more revisions.  I *do*
actually like it, however, it doesn't have the features I'm looking for
therefore I will not run it.
Thanks for the info.

assistant: Ok, what I want is Adept to look through the nodelist directory, and if
something has changed to compile the nodelist.  No batch file, no clicking of
mouse.  It already does this with the language file, checks to see if it has
changed, if it has then it compiles a new one.  If it hasn't then it
continues.
	Even better than that would be if it would request a new nodelist (for those
networks that don't send them out via File Echo's).  It could store the
appropriate freq name beside the addresses of "us", then on a weekly basis,
or even daily basis, freq the newone.  Not hard to setup and implement, and I
currently do this with a file that makes freq's.  But being built in would be
nicer.
