Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Mario, got a couple of Adept questions for ya. After talking to you the
other day in chat on your board I haven't been able to get back on, has
something happened to it?
I tried the new 109 version and was able to get the files set up fine and the
local message areas work fine, but am still unable to get the fido echos to
work at all. In the message editor when ever I type in the address which I
put as: 1:208/803.0@fidonet it does not save it. Is there something wrong
possibly with this version? Another little problem is when it shows who is
online it always gives the name of your bbs, the Dogstar... am I missing a
file someplace I need to change or is this hardwired into the program?
In desperation I downloaded the full install of 108, but again run into a
problem when trying to enter the address in the message editor. I type it in
and save it, but when I go back to it later it shows:
65655.65544/6533.0@fidonet, or something like that. I even went into the
message and physically changed that line to the correct one with an text
editor, but when I load up the message editor again, back come the 65
numbers... is there something wrong with 108 too? Oh ya, another funny thing
with the 108 version, it shows it as Registered...???
Any suggestions as to the problem? Do I need to go back to the 107 version or
just give it up and go back to Maximus?

assistant: And so it came to pass, on 04-08-97 08:47,
   that Tony Langdon spake unto Geir_Eivind Mork:
I believe you can OpenChat display a /who in a separate window; alternately,
you can open System Editor in a small window, and cut-and-paste a /who
listing into it.
GTIRC has a mIRC-like display of users on the channel down the right side of
the channel window.
Check out GammaTech IRC 2.x - very much like mIRC in function, except for
those stupid proprietary things like color codes.  It uses REXX (*very* well
documented) as a scripting language, and I believe also supports standard
ircII scripts in the latest update.
ncFTP is a port of the text-based Unix version.  Far more powerful than
OS/2's FTP.
In fact, there are OS/2 ports of almost all Unix/Linux TCP/IP clients and
daemons, since many are written or ported to GCC (freeware), and there's a
full GCC package for OS/2.
