• TIC processor

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Wednesday, September 22, 2004 18:56:22
    Hello, All.

    I just got my system back online... :)

    I co-wrote TinyTIC, a freeware, open source TIC processor, designed to work with any BBS. TinyTIC will process the TICs and move the files as well as create a text message announcement... it's up to the sysop to get the message into the message bases (using a third party utility-nearly every BBS package has something available for it that can do that).

    It was designed with Synchronet sysops in mind, but it will work with any BBS.

    If anyone's interested in it, let me know at the address below and I'll send it
    to you. I don't have it up on my website yet.

    Oh, it's available for DOS, OS/2, Win32 and Linux. Written in C++ by Mike Dillon and myself (I mostly wrote the docs and helped test :).

    Later,
    Sean

    Send it when you can Sean and thanks in advance,

    I'll see if I still have the OS/2 version. I checked in my archives and discovered I didn't have it. It seems that there was a problem creating the newer OS/2 versions because of a problem in gcc or something... I'll look.
