Hey Ward!

Nevermind development given the total screwups of the past such as TZUTC and especially obsolete datetime stamps your aforementioned developers are too chickenshit to take on even though they should know better.

They couldn't develop their way out of a wet paper bag.

Life is good,

On the basis of what software or are we all supposed to guess?

Hey Vincent!

On the basis of what software or are we all supposed to guess?

All of it including my own. Speaking for mine, it totally ignores pkt headers no matter which type but it can create type 2 and 2+. As far as everything else is concerned it looks to either be broken (sysop is unaware of their noncompliancy) or type 2 pkt headers are unsupported by design. If so then all these by default are noncompliant until such time there is a document to replace current standards, which *ONLY* includes type 2 headers.

Does the software you use support type 2?

Its unfortunate that in one moment you come across as ambitious and technical, but then next you resort to unoriginal Torvalds-style effeminate whining. Or was your menstruation of a message meant to be a Netmail to Ward?

Maybe "Life is good" for you if you were to start your own net, where every node meets your strict standard and runs software you personally approve of?

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment.

No thank you. I am a member of the FTSC and fully plan to make it count if I can. I call it doing my job.

How about you? I have seen didley-squat coming from your direction. What exactly are supposed to be doing and how come you're not doing it?

Does the software you use support type 2?

As I use mbse the answer is err - yes as far as I know. - checking docs.

Mail packets for Type 2+ - following the FSC-0039 standards with a fall back
to old stone age packets with messages limited to a maximum of 429,467,295 bytes, see spec notes :

Description.
mbfido is the program to process fidonet mail and files. In order to run mbfido
you must first start mbtask, this is the daemon which controls all bbs activities. To prevent that mbfido will run more than once at the same time a lock is placed in the protected inbound with the Pid of the running mbfido program. The gateway to and from internet is also handled by mbfido.


Specifications.
The recognized mail packets are type 2+ following the FSC-0039 standard with a fall back to the old stone age packets. Can handle messages of maximum 429,467,295 bytes, or less if you have less memory available, the
practical limit is about 1 Meg. Note that most mail processors are only guaranteed to work to maximum 16 KBytes.
Experiments between 1997 - 2003 in the LINUX echo show that this is still true,
although most tossers seem to process mail up to 32 KBytes.

I have much respect for the author. I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.

standard with a fall back to the old stone age packets.

All that is needed to make that real is to make it the standard.

Hey Ward!

middle finger. Then what?

I'll give you the same answer I got when I asked the question; I don't know.

My best guess is same old, same old, except maybe a whole bunch less active, with far less nodes than now ... not counting the phoney-baloney nodes of course since they are not active and just sit there festering in the nodelist.

I am not going to ask you the same, not that I am not interested, but you tend to harsh my buzz from time to time and I think this might be one of those occasions.

Life is good,

Hey Ward!

Mauwice,

My eldest daughter used to call me that when she was a baby. In a strange way this might be what is known as "coming full circle".

Also, "Some people call me Mauwice" comes to mind.

when awaiting new dentuwes and evewy "w" sounds like a "w" ...

I hate when that happens, except that as a rule it is "r" sounds like a "w" since "w"s are supposed to sound like "w" ... unless of course it sounds like "v" (in some locales).

Are you having a senior's moment? ;-)

Maurice,

No, just fun. I refuse to be old and people who treat me like that are in for a bad moment ... girls at the check-out in a supermarket thinking I need help with paying electronically. They do that only once.

Hey Ward!

a bad moment

So then your error would have been out of choice? That doesn't make any sense ... or does it?

They do that only once.

Myself I just use cash. They are still accepting cash in this neck of the woods. I have no idea what the check-out people think about cash but so far none of them have made any attempt to explain how to exchange it for goods in the shopping cart. I use a debit card occasionally but as a rule cash is king with me.

For the record, you get no choice on senior's moments, they choose you.

Life is good,
Maurice
