assistant: Jam, is gonna come as close to it as one can say, so disregard that..!
Adept comes with it's own..!  Named "GateKeeper"...!  The Latest
GateKeeper is "Gate2103.zip"....!
Adept has a 3party "Adept Mail" Freeware Editor.  Plus, Look at the
TAG Line.  I use GoldEd/2.  Oooops, I'm inside Adeept... disregyard.
Also Adept has a "NEW" (also now Freeware) FileEd.  Just updated...!
ALL this U will find on MY "WEB PAGE"..!  I uploading FileEd Now..!

Compatability with third-party programs?  I, for one, have registered

none of them support the Adept msgbase style, so I wouldn't be able to use
them.. that's about $70US wasted if I were to use Adept...  not to mention
AllFix wouldn't be compatable with it either, so there goes some of the
functionality of AllFix (also registered) that I use...
That's fine and dandy, but the base, being proprietary in nature, disallows a
lot of utilities that some of us paid good money to use...  If Adept
supported other message base formats, and allowed hooks for an external
mailer, echo tosser, and file tosser, I would have probably been using it a
long time ago. Because it doesn't, I won't use it, despite how good it may be
(I don't like the idea of wasting money, that's all).  It's the same thing
with KBBS...  it was a pretty decent package, but because you couldn't use
any third-party tossers, etc. with it, it wasn't worth my time to continue
playing with.

I may be wrong on this point, so if so, just ignore this, but it seems that i
saw in one of your earlier posts that you run Squish with the *.msg setup.
You do realize that this takes up a LOT more disk space than either running a
regular squish, or Adept style of message base. Depending on the size f the
disk partition you are running it on, and the number of areas you carry, this
could amount to lots of Meg's of space wasted.. In my case doing a test back
when i ran Squish before swithching to Adept, carrying the entire Fido feed,
and keeping between 500 and 1000 messages in each area, it amounted to well
over 60 meg difference between *.msg and Squish style base. Squish was also
quite a bit faster with a Squish base rather than a *.msg base..

Don't laugh too loud, as Bill, as well of some others of us would gladly do
such a thing to help get someone up and running.. One of the things that
tends to get overlooked with Adept, is that, while it is a GUI type of
interface on the Sysop's end, it also has Text based Cfg's that can be
Cut/Pasted, or one can use the Pull Down's to do your editing in. Little
flexibility that i really like about it. I would rather do direct editing of
the cfg files rather than use the Gui pull down's for such things, and Adept
lets me do it either way..

assistant: Hello Vincent!
So waht you are syaing, is that you are going to stay with what has by now
become old technology because of a few shareware programs that you have
registered. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Gotta be one
of the worst reasons i've heard for not switching to something better.. All
of the stuff you mentiuon above, is built into Adept, and works flawlessly,
so you DON'T NEED that third party stuff to pay extra for. This is coming
from an old time sysop that has ran a lot of different packages from Dos
based under DesqView, to Bink/Max under Os/2, (which, BTW, make it neccessary
to have all of those third party routines) up to Adept now, which doesn't
need em..

Write your reply.

assistant: The way adept displays the date is totally configurable in language.text
file,
as for input, just write a simple littel adeptrexx script to grab the date in
whatever format u want and store it in the standard that adept expects to
see,
look up get/putvar in the adeptrexx docs, virtually every memory variable is
avilable for use/modification using these two functions..
Minimize adept, it will still run as normal...
)
I don't see the point of this when yur running a multi-tasking os anyway...
Yur doing it the hard way, simply take that menu item out of whatever menu is
calling it, prolly newuser.menu in yur case judging by what yur trying to do,
u can edit newuser.menu to get as much or as little information as you
desire,
the menucommand that invokes those prompt lines is command 141, simply
comment
it out and those prompts will never appear to yur users..
