Hello Michael
Could you tell me if WinServer still supports RIP?
Thanks
Greg
Winserver (WC5+) never did have RIP support, only WC4 did.

Hello Lee
Mike stated to me that in fact WC5 did have support after looking at the source code as soon as WC6 came out it was no longer supported!

In light of the obsolete status of 16 bit centric BBS RIP I doubt this thread will attract a great deal of attention. However, as it may assist someone in the future I will make a couple of observations.--- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1
The capacity to detect RIP exists in Wildcat! v5 to v7, but it is not implemented by default in MAIN.WCC.
The code to display an alternate set of *.RIP or dispR.BBS files does not currently exist at all in the relevant ANSI Side modules.
You can implement the ability to detect RIP and its associated Version
Connected with Telnet. Ansi detected. - Detected RIP Version: 030001
As you will see above I am successfully detecting RIP Version 3. I do not have a working RIP v1 or v2 emulator so I cannot test backwards compatibility. However, my testing was based on the RIPv1 Specification so it should work with v1 to v3.
Once you have detected RIP you can set a global session variable for the user and then display an alternate set of RIP files. I tested the concept of HELLOR1-HELLOR9.BBS and it worked fine.
How do you connect with ANSI AND RIP?do not

Can you give a step by step instructions how to achive this using the methods via variables and alternate display files, etc.
