Well, I run a point. I use GCCHost 3.5b, an extremely 2.0 compatible (as it requires Arexx to run) program which is a combined editor/4d tosser/packer. It also handles Netmail routing and stuff that previously needed OMMM and BarfMail (ConfMail for those who use it...). Anyways, I've never had a problem, except for my boss going down. And when you register GCCHost, it will work in a full-node environment. I think it's like 20 bucks. For a bbs, there's no replacing either StarNet, which many don't trust because of its past record as Paragon, DLG (DiaLoG Professional) which is modular, and is supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread, and of course the new XenoLink, kind of like ParaGone, but much better, supporting transfers and many other options from a shared library. -- - gblock@csd4.csd.uwm.edu - | IBM's brain is on overload, and Apple Gregory Block | needs to be potty-trained.
