assistant: I _JUST_ (like not even in the mail yet, about 2 hours ago) purchaced warp
and was wondering if Renegade worked in OS2, or if I had to do it in the DOS>
 I have NEVER used os2... ever!  BUt I have ran a bbs with renegade for about
2 years, and LOVE it (some people will ask why, surely).  But I was wondering
if I had to get a different version of the doors and such to run under this
different environment....
Please kjeep in mind that I dont even have it yet and that I am just
searching for files... My disks should get here fedex on monday, tho...
Any help is greaty appreciated...

So many flavors that I've added an "other platforms" file area to my BBS,
since that allows users of those platforms to open the RAR archives they
obtain here.  (While the executables won't be of interest to them, many of

Also, would you and/or Cott be interested in hosting a conference on the
future of RG on the IRC? There is a new IRC server on the net that is geared
towards the BBS world and they have different events from time to time to
discuss topics such as Doors, etc. I thought it would make for a great
urnout
if you and Cott could attend and let people know what you guys see in the
future for renegade, esp. with the effect the internet has had on SysOps. If
you are interested and would like some more details on this IRC server, just
email me at spudd@mail.apcnet.com or netmail at our Fido address.

I send BRE packets via the Internet automatically using EMail.  All I use is
NetMgr, some creative cmd files, and a couple of different extraction
utilities since the guy I send to keeps bouncing back and forth between MIME
and UUENCODE.
Basically just set up a user name for the packets to come to and from, have
NetMgr scan for those names and export the packets to a file, then check for
the existence of that file and if it's there run your decoder on it.  Delete
or move the file after you are done with it.
Then you handle it like any other mail packet.
Outbound is just a reversal of the above process.

Something I've been wondering about for a while:
If I want to alter the DOS session settings on a CPU-hogging DOS door on my

it that of the door executable?
For instance, if I wanted to edit the settings for the door The Pit, would I
edit PIT.BAT or PIT.EXE?  I'd guess the executable, but wanted to be sure.

...
Well, Have you ever seen MajorBBS?  They have it in a Modualar system. You
can
program your own moduals. The biggest draw back was that you couldn't run and
non-modular doors. :( (As in DOS or OS/2).  We will be letting people program
in this Modular type system, as well as REXX. You will aslo be able to run
DOS and OS/2 doors.
Well now, we are looking for help.  I'll take this into email. Can you write
me a message telling me what you can do? (Languages, OS's, What do you think
you can do the best/worst, Ect. Anything that will help me figure out a good
