Well I have also downloaded WAFFLE 1.62 but being strictly an MSDOS person and not having had any previous experience with Usenet/Unix the DOCS just leave you in the DARK.The DOCS assume you know just about everything about the host you are connecting to and the manner in which the connection and DOS/Unix interface works. I would appreciate it if you would be able to send me examples of your /system/static file.Any other detail would help. I am not interested in Waffle as a BBS but only as a single user system. ---
