It seems there was a small error (my fault) in Trev's message about getting
Opus Info through internet mail.
If you want the latest info on Opus 1.79, send a message to
opusinfo@deimos.nl. Requesting OPUSINFO doesn't do anything (sorry).
When Opus 1.79 is released, send a message to opus179@deimos.nl, and you'll
get the Opus 1.79 archive.
We apologize for the inconvenience...:)

It seems PCB's front end was broken... Try to convince the PCB node to get

Write your reply.

assistant: No, DietIFNA and ZedZip are quite different gadgets.  DietIFNA is a WaZOO
extension to FTS-1/FTS-7 using Telink or SEAlink (perhaps plus 'overdrive')
protocols.  It's also referred to as 'fast FTS-0001' in FTS-0006 (which
describes negotiation for all four WaZOO protocols, plus Janus).
ZedZip is the same as ZedZap, except that block sizes are limited to the 1K
of the original Zmodem protocol that WaZOO/ZedZap was derived from.
There's been some discussion of this with respect to at least the Windows
version of Platinum Express mailer, which does ZedZip but not ZedZap (for
some bufferspace reason?) but which then failed to fall back to FTS-1 (or
even DietIFNA), instead failing session with 'no common protocol' error.
Naughty?
Opus appears not to recognise the ZED_ZIPPER FTS-6 YooHoo capability bit, but
then the code mentions that it will use 1K Zmodem where WaZOO is indicated,
if ZedZap is not.  As to what the actual problem is, or whose 'fault' it is,
who knows?  Mel Pheasant may, he's done a fair bit of research on these
matters for his own 'mailer mess' :)
From Opus (1.20, I think):
     Hello.capabilities   = (no_zapzed)? Y_DIETIFNA: Y_DIETIFNA|ZED_ZAPPER;
From a superficial look through this, and bits of the Binkley code, it might
even be as simple as adding the ZED_ZIPPER bit to Opus' advertised
capability, and a small amount of code to report the type used, as Opus
appears to set the WaZOO blocksize down to 1K if ZED_ZAPPER isn't set already
.. but I suppose it couldn't be that easy .. and I doubt there's any time to
fiddle with 1.79.
<Trev, did you manage to find out if PXW now works, with any data to send?>

user: You are replying to Trev Roydhouse about "New Opus".

Write your reply.

assistant: Trev, this is probably an oft'asked question, but with 1.79, what exactly
does one do if one already has a fully operational BBS with 1.73?  Obviously,
one would not want to use the files in OMAK for that.  Is Opus 1.79 a simple
dropin?  I tried looking for a readme file which would explain how to upgrade
existing 1.73 boards, but didn't see it in any of the new files.
I was also looking for a file that would be tantamount to a "new features"
list for 1.79, for experienced 1.73 sysops, but can't find one of those,
either...  Would be nice to find such a list, and brief descriptions how to
impliment those features to an existing 1.73 setup (once the 1.79 opus.exe is
in place, of course.)
Also, has the userfile changed in *any* way?  I have to know this because I
have a program here called TABS (the 900 number service) which allows people
to do instant priv upgrades online.  When a caller runs TABS, they input a 7
digit code to the program (which they get via voice by calling a certain 900
number), and when given a valid code, TABS goes out and updates several
fields in USER.DAT.  (Actually, it changes some fields in the LASTUS00.DAT
file, which, when that person jumps back into Opus, are read back into the
real USER.DAT file.)  The utility was custom written by True Media in
Florida, who offers the 900 number upgrade service, to be used with Opus
1.73a's user files.  I provided them with the Opus structure files and sample
lastuser.dat and user.dat files.  It was a pain for them to code becuase
Opus's user file is a btrieve type flle, binary, and a pain to work with).
Anyhow, If there are any changes to field locations or lengths in USER.DAT,
then the current TABS utility won't work.  I don't want to upgrade until I
know everything is the same.
Please let me know...
