Hi Tony,

You wrote to Archie Swan on 24.03.01 about "Utilities?":

[snip]

I KNOW it's big but will give you most anything you want. :-))

Maybe for JAM-based or .MSG-type-base - but have you tried it
with a Squish-based setup as Sean's asked for ??

Please note my earlier apology. I missed the Squish....

Happens to most/all(?) of us at some time :)
Looks like Sean might be fixed up now though.

TTFN,

Archie

Hi Robert,

You wrote on 25.03.01 about "Utilities?":

Not to mention that Sean would presumably have wanted a hands-off
robot, which I didn't think to note, and which might not be easy
to get Terminate to do even if one had Terminate available with
the same message base.

ISTR it was a bit of a pain to try and run it as a robot.
Granted that Sean looks to have found the util he was looking
for, but I wonder if Christian von Busse or Tobias Ernst has some
utility tucked away. Must have a look through their files lists
- long lists, so it'll take a bit of time ;)

[30K'ish hack]

Yes - my system is set to split messages >= 16K. That one came
out as three messages! Statistically, a little oversize ;-)

Folks tend to get carried away at times. :)

TTFN,

Archie

Thanks! Nice to see a bit of continuing activity in Fidonet utilities.

I am looking at converting or looking for Linux programmers to join the
fight. I have a number of sources that need converting.

You are correct. I missed the Squish. My apologies.

Easily done :-) ANd we all know how enthusiastic Terminate fans are! :-)

Not on their Web sites. I spotted another couple of (apparently) stats
utils on Bob Juge's site when looking for something else, but frankly, I'd have thought that EchoStat and SqFilter between them would have provided at least as many statistics as any reasonable person could possibly require. OTOH, knowing your deep spiritual affinity with German software... ;-)

True :-) I set EchoStat's configuration to cut down on what it delivered,
or it would have been oversized as well. It has a fair bit of configurability.

Regards,

Robert.

Not sure what that was.

How does your project relate to Husky?

It doesn't. Basically I have found a few sources and tested the exe under DOSEMU and I considered them worth saving :) I do have half a dozen more sources that I need to upload. They are mainly C or C++. Also if a Fido
related util is released as opensource, then it gets a home on the page :)

The project is an idea to port DOS utils to Linux. These do not have to be
part of the Husky project as I don't use it.
