• Vista?

    From Jerry Schwartz@1:142/928 to All on Sunday, June 24, 2007 20:13:01
    Hello, All...

    Has anyone run Binkley under Vista? I'm using the NTFOSS version under XP, currently.

    Regards,

    I haven't myself (I run BT under eComStation), but I've heard that Vista has some real problems with FOSSIL drivers, such as not even allowing them to start. YMMV, though...just repeating what I've heard down in the WIN95 echo.

    Later,

    I can run it on a Mac, but Vista... I never plan to run Vista. The next OS I run will be Mac OS X v10 at this time.

    Sorry to butt in here, but do you have the making of a fidonet node on the mac yet? That's my main computer and I haven't even found a BBS system that runs under OS X (There are a couple good ones for OS9, but my Intel mac doesn't
    run classic).


    Cheers,

    Have you considered trying MBSE BBS by any chance?

    Well MBSE BBS should compile on OS X, and it is very stable, works a treat, but might not be your cup of tea ...

    If you don't need a BBS, the the Husky Project utils might work out well for you, not sure what you'd use as a POTS mailer, if that is a requirement tho ... , BinkleyTerm does well on Linux, but not sure that will compile on OS X or not ....

    Never thought of it. I'll check it out and see if it's something that will compile on the mac.

    It would be fine. I'll check it out, I ran it for a short period of time on my Linux based laptop.

    I haven't had pots in 7 years now. I'll check husky out as well and see if that will compile. I just don't know anything at all about C other then ./configure and make. :)

    That is enough, for both MBSE BBS and Husky Project utils, just read the documentation, and you should be fine ...

    funny this... i've just been having a talk with someone else over in another echo... a mac echo if i remember rightly... that talk is about getting MBSE to compile on OS X... he's found a few issues but says that he is a professional developer... in another message, he told me that he was working thru a few things trying to get it to compile... he'll likely end up over in MBSE at some point... either asking about compilation problems or presenting changes to get it to compile on OS X ;)

    Think he arrived there, there seems to have been a few changes to OS X, since the previous bloke who got it to compile on OS X a few years ago submitted his code changes ...
