assistant: Renegade works extremely well under OS/2! There are plenty of docs
  out there on how to set the DOS settings for it.
	Look for the OS/2 version os Ray Gwinn's excellent SIO comm drivers.
     Also get a file called FULLOS2.ZIP, it explains the beastly CONFIG.SYS
     file to set for a bbs.
     I run Renegade under OS/2 and have plenty of files on my BBS, if you
can't
     find these, call my bbs and get them.

	Password: Files

	Hopefully they will succesfully port an OS/2 version of renegade as they
        will begin to start working on soon.

assistant: Argh. That confuses me way too much, heh. I have 10-05 and I always
	get that confused with 5-11. So, what it is new between the 2 versions
	and how many upgrades am I behind, and where can I get 5-11?
	I have an idea for a numbering scheme, perhaps using a sort of scheme like
        Linux does, with the Major number.minor number.revision level or
perhaps
	using that format but use dates instead ex.:
	5.11.96  So that way I know what year its refering to!
	or say:
	1.0.1     For like Major version 1, minor 0, revision 1 or something.
	Just a few suggestions from a (sometimes) confused Renegade sysop.

One thing that would go a long way, is to evaluate existing OS/2 packages.
Ask sysops running them what the strong point and weak points are.  There is
no one perfect BBS and I don't think anyone could ever write it.  BUT, I do
believe that if you include a scripting language (I run Concord which has a
powerful script system) you can give the sysop power to improve their bbs
themselves. Also it should support a wide variety of formats, ie: drop files,
file.bbs or a file database, be CD ROM ready, able to take complete CD's on
or offline, and I guess the big thing nowadays is Internet ready.
I'm glad to see someone wanting to invest in OS/2 development.

Then in the .DIZ file you can say something about the release date if you
still want to include that.  However it's much easier for most people to keep
up with version numbers.  And with the above naming convention, those in the
know will be able to tell what a particular version change means.  For the
casual observer they can just know that 1.00 is older than 1.71.
So, opinions?
My personal idea would be to merge the renegade maintance program into the
actual bbs.  Call it with a command line option much like "Pack Messagers" =>
RENEGADE -P, "Sort" RENEGADE -S, "Delete Accunts unused in X Days" RENEGADE
-D30 (after 30 days), etc...

    It'll run under OS/2 in what is called a DOS VDM.  OS/2 can run DOS
programs rather well.  Be advised you'll have to a fair amount of
configuring.. and fine tuning the settings.. but once you get it right,
ou're
good to go.
    My suggestions: get a hold of TAME333.ZIP and FULLOS2.ZIP.  The former is
a vital utility for running DOS programs in OS/2, and the other is a fairly
decent description of the settings you should use for running DOS programs
under OS/2.

about

Renegade runs great under OS/2. You will need to run it preferably under a
OS
fullscreen session ( you'll see what I mean when you get OS/2). You will need
to pick up a file called SIO which is a set of comm routines and a fossil
driver. I am not sure of the current SIO version, but you can get it from
ust
about anyone who runs a BBS and OS/2.
