Write your reply.

assistant: Hi,
I am looking for a standalone OS/2 (Warp 3) tick processor that works in
passthru mode.  Any advice of one that *works*?
I have been using Junktick for some years and was happy with it running in
normal mode.  I now am acting as a file "hub" with files coming in from any
one of four BBS to be sent on to 3 other BBSs.  I don't want these files left
on the machine after the last BBS has collected them so the tick processor
should clean up after itself.
Junktick offered a passthru mode so I set up the passthru directory and put
-P in place of the directory.  At first all looked ok with the tick files
being generated for the receiving BBSs and the files being moved to the
passthru directory as expected.  So far so good.
However the next time Junktick was run it promptly deleted all files in the
passthru directory despite the fact that none of the receiving BBSs had
called and the tic files were still present.  Grrr!
I wanted it to clean up after itself but not *before* the files had been
passed on. :-(
Is anyone running an OS/2 tick processor that will work in passthru mode?
Regards ... John

I'm looking for a multiport serial card for my BBS. It must have
2/4/8 ports, IRQ sharing, 115200 bps or better DTE rate, and be
supported by SIO. I can't find such a card here in France. I'd
love to get an Hayes ESP but it's very hard to find one since
it's being discontinued by Hayes.
If you know of a specialized reseller, or if you are selling a
used card, please contact me by netmail or email.
My apologies if this message is off-topic.

Write your reply.

assistant: It cost (2 phone nodes + 5 local nodes) = 400 FIM. I don't have the currency
conversion between FIM and USD right here.
It does. From sysop.gui: Just replace "faces.desc" with "FILES.BBS"
By default, BBBS uses a file called descript.ion in the directory's real
directory as the description file for the directory. You can change this with
the @0 and @1-flags. The difference is that with @0, the file size and date
are read from the disk, with @1 they are read from the descript.ion-file.
This is useful with CD-ROMs.
For example, if you specify this in your filedir-file:
/                c:/root/             Root directory
/graph           c:/pictures/         Assorted pictures
/graph/people    c:/pictures/faces/   People @0c:/descs/faces.desc
BBBS would search the descriptions for files from the files
c:/descs/faces.desc, instead of c:/pictures/faces/descript.ion.

Murray I don't know how to convert Wildcat messages areas to Adept, nor I
have worked with the QWK yet.  I am quite busy at my work and  I am moving
slowly to re-start my BBS under Adept/X command.  I have used one of Michael
Conways utilities in addition to BFSMake (BFSadd) to convert file areas. The
utility name is filesbbs.exe...
What I *really* will like to see in Adept is the capability to make Local
Downloads and Uploads.  I only have one phone line and I don't like
pes!<g>.
I hope v1.12 will support that!.  Ahh, there is a good ANSI Editor (DOS) that
have helped me converting somWildcat Screens to ANSI.  It is Ansi Artist...
It seems that MSI have it in the files areas.  Let me know.  I do still will
prefer a native OS/2 ANSI Edtiitor!...

There are also feeds available for only what area's you want..  Its more

You could set up something to call for your pack in the wee hours & send your

I can spot the problems here as a down link to both versions.
Like other previous Beta sites, the site does not want to accept my

is better than the previous version.
Maybe it is, but its still buggy.

WordPerfect a text editor.  It is a message editor, that's what it's written
to do.  It's just that it doesn't edit the message base directly.  Instead it
does it via the BBS software.  If you've got a way to distinguish it from
sysop editors like GoldEd, please let me know, this isn't the first time I've
had this problem.
