  • Another patched version of BW...

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Thu Feb 4 20:59:23 2010
    Hello, All.

    Thanks to Nancy and her "wizard"'s help, I now have a working Y2K-patched version of the Blue Wave mail door for ProBoard. I just did a test post in my own mail network and all is working nicely. I'll bundle that EXE up and make it available soon.

    For Mike: How I got ProBoard and BW to work was I shut down all nodes of Telegard/2, made sure it wouldn't restart when the system rebooted (I have the BBS bring itself up in TCPEXIT.CMD) and after the system restarted, I uploaded a message via MultiMail into BW locally (at the command prompt). BW posted the
    message directly with no hassle.

    So this means that I can go back to running the BBS software I actually really like now without that small problem I had before: no way to reset the last read
    message pointers for my offline mail users. I am in the process of writing something for the internal QWK module users, but I have to write that in C using a special SDK and since I've never programmed in C before, that will take
    a little time. :)

    Later,
    Sean

    Ummm, I have a pex file here that does that already. If you want it let me know and I'll file attach a netmail with it to you. :)

    Hi, Gaylen-

    Ummm, I have a pex file here that does that already. If you want it let me know and I'll file attach a netmail with it to you. :)

    If it's the one from Fe-line Software, it is not Y2K compliant and will break my message base. I've run it before. If it's another one, sure, send it to me!

    Hey there,

    and will break my message base. I've run it before. If it's
    another one, sure, send it to me!

    nope it is not the FE-line one and I've used it here without any problems so I'll send it to you file attach. :)

    Hmmm, back to Proboard eh.... that makes three boards that I know of in the US that run that software. :)
