Thanks! Turns out I might not need one after all, but I am going to add this to
my notes in case I do need to find one. I have husky but didn't see that
program in the package. May have missed it!

FastLst does V7; I believe it's part of the Husky project these days. I'm
still using my registered OS/2 version from eons ago, because it works.

V7 nodelist compiler for linux?

From: Mike Powell @618:250/10 *61
To: All @Echomail *61
Subject: V7 nodelist compiler for linux?

Is anyone using a V7 nodelist compiler for linux, that works with any linux BBS
software, that they would recommend?

I only currently use two ftn programs that need a compiled copy of the nodelist.
ifcico compiles its own version (which doesn't appear to be V7), and
BinkleyTerm for DOS uses V6, which sysnl for DOS can create.

I now have a program that wants a V7 nodelist, and won't work with any other
previous versions.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have been working on porting my DOS Turbo Pascal-based BBS doors to Tcl--it
works surprisingly well for BBS doors--and have nearly finished getting things
into a beta state. They're working here just fine, but I'm looking for other
systems to test my "The Magic Oracle" door.

The only main requirements are that your system must be running Tcl 8.5 or
higher and ANSI is supported on the remote caller's end. I've designed the
door(s) to be easy to set up and use. A Windows version is in the works as a
standalone EXE thanks to Freewrap though I'd imagine a Windows-based BBS with
ActiveState Tcl installed with the ability to run stdio programs (in this
case, via tclsh) should also be able to run the doors similar to *NIX.

If you're running a *NIX-based BBS and would like to try it, please let me
know. The docs are being fully fleshed out but there's enough there to
figure it out. <G>

I will be releasing my doors under the MIT License.

Subject: Working door...

Hello All,

After switching AIs, I now have a working Tcl-based door! Now comes the best
past: customizing the door. My doors use ANSI so I can use good ol' ANSI art.

The script I use to call my door sets TERM to "ansi" to run the door then sets
TERM back to its original setting.

I'm really excited about this.

After I finish porting my doors to Tcl, I'll work on and update the DOS doors.

Then, for my OS/2 sysops, I'll port the Tcl to REXX. Because I can. LOL

Never tried CoPilot. I used Claude for forecasts, simply because the charges are

f2b isn't too bad once you understand how it works but in order fore it to
monitor MBSDE's telnet port, I had
