Looking into it, I learned MBSE is... Pretty well featured, so I was curious to check it out..

I'm running CentOS 7.1 and tried to build it, and two issues arose, one I fixed manually the other is a compile error preventing me from building it.

The compile error is here:

binkp.c: In function rCybinkp_send_comp_optsrCO:

The other issue was in the SETUP.sh, which tries to make the mbse use within the uucp group and completely fails the rest of the way because CentOS doesn't have a uucp group. That said, I made one, just for the purposes of following through and that worked, of course since I have no MBSE built, I can't actually run it. :)

exHello Eric!

Sunday September 13 2015 10:27, you wrote to All:

You "may" have a library missing.

Have to installed ALL develop libraries needed (see the INSTALL file and README.Ubuntu and READNE.Ubuntu to see what libs are used.

Depending on Distro so may already be installed but for the others you will need to manual do so using your distro package manager.

Next look at the output from configure and see if it says that there are any missing packages / dependancies.

Now, Centos is a derived from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

Now Redhat is supported and your distro may well have files such as -

/etc/mageia-release
/etc/mandrakelinux-release
/etc/mandrake-release
/etc/mandriva-release
/etc/os-release

and

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr 4 2014 /etc/redhat-release -> mageia-release

These come from a Mageia distro.

Failing that you will have to create a link from what ever one you have to the one above (e.g., redhat-release and then the SETUP.sh should work.

Note that I said should :)

Heh yep. Good stuff. When I manually made a uucp group, it would work just fine, but 7 doesn't have a uucp group, so the preparation failed, and with absolutely no error checking on the SETUP.sh, it really was horrible.

If there's no complaints, I'll probably take some time to look at the SETUP script, rewrite some of it if not all, and offer it up to someone to look over and keep or not. When it comes to bash, I have been said to be god-like. :) (that is, until it comes to sed, then I usually get outside help <EG>)

was curious to check it out..

I'm sure you'd like the mailer / ticer / tosser. In all my BBS travels that stays with me.. :)

Hehe. Well, I'm currently running Synchronet with Htick and BinkD, which those are pretty nice, honestly. I even have a setup I'm throwing together that's mail-only, no BBS, that'll be BinkD+HPT+HTick+GoldED possibly JAMNNTPD, to access and verify everything with.

The one thing I truely do like about Synchronet is the fact it's scripted with JavaScript, which is real-world usable stuff and very easy to work with. I was able, thankks to Synchronet, to learn JavaScript for the first time ever and actually appreciate using it.

So, I'm curious what MBSE is actually capable of, and how customizable it is, and scriptable, and if it's scripting language (if it has one), is worth using. :)

In fact Lukas de Groen said he was planning to upgrade his system and I think he said his target was centos.

Heh, well, if I re-do the setup script, I'm likely to rip it all apart and re-do a lot of it, to make it easier to maintain, and work with more systems more easily., just depends. I haven't looked at it yet, but I usually end up finding a lot of better ways to handle things other people had done.

But, yeah, my BBS systems all run on CentOS 7.1 these days, and I'm not likely to change that. I hate Debian, I have Ubuntu, I hate .deb package format. If I like MBSE enough to even mildly support it openly, I'll even make an RPM .spec file for it that would allow binary distribution of it, and includable in the source so people could download the source bundle, see the spec, rpm-build it, install, and get up and running in no-time.

I would like to know a couple or a few publically accessible MBSE systems out there, so I could check them out, too..

I want to see, first hand, what it's capable of as a user.

The BBS interface to mbse is pretty simple, as Michiel Broek says somewhere in the docs. He was just writing a plain and simple BBS that his BBS users were used to (at the time I guess) and that is what he did.

The mailer / ticer / tosser is something else though.. ok, nuf said!

I don't know how JavaScript works or if it could be used with MBSE. Michiel Broek did write a doorlib for MBSE though and a couple doors that work with it.
One is called safe cracker, a simple number guessing game. A sample for programmers I think. And the note to next user door, provides much the same as synchronets auto message.

There is no scripting language for the BBS, although AreaMgr and FileMgr auto responses are scripted with the help of diesel I think.

Hmmm.. Interesting. I just checked out that BBS as you mentioned it, and yeah. Plain jane and simple. I did notice one issue on it though. During registration, you create an account, one being a unix account, and then the BBS utilizes that, but when choosing a handle... if you happen to try to use the same name as your unix account /durint/ registration, it denies it claiming a user already exists.. Chose to use none, then logged out and back in after the process was complete, went to settings, selecting nmy handle, no problems.

That was MBSE 1.0.4.

Looks like MBSE has potential, but without a scripting language.... That urks me a lot. Back in the day f me BBSing, I actually switched FROM Renegade to Telegard, because Telegard had a real(ish) scripting language. I had gone from RG->TG->RA because of potential powerful customization. The main reason I even went to RA was because the specs for using everything from message format to user and file databases, were completely open, and I already knew a crap ton of Pascal.. So I ended up programming 50% or more of my BBS in my own custom external processes that handled everything.

I don't want to do that again. That was a VERY heavy BBS for it's day, but it /was/ extremely powerful none-the-less. People loved it, which is what was important most of all.

Today, I use Synchronet, and likely going to continue doing so, simply because it is so powerful yet so simple and lightweight at the same time. It has nearly everything, minus the mailer itself, and ticcer, but BinkD and htick fill in those two gaps, qico if you want too for ifcico. :)

And JavaScript, as mentioned before. I've already programmed at least one publically distributed mod for Synchronet which is a lightbar driven new area scan selector which is ever so wonderfully useful, ans I use it myself, especially since I've been adding hundreds of message bases on my BBS lately. :)

I notice something like that too, whenever I log into an MBSE BBS I enter my handle as Al, but it uses al instead. If I try to change it to Al it says the username is already in use. I have to change my handle to Joe, log out and back
in and then I can change my handle to Al. MBSE has always been that way since I
have used it. :)

Looks like MBSE has potential, but without a scripting language....

MBSE is an open source project so it can be updated and improved. That depends on having programmers in the project though, something I can't do myself.

I don't want to do that again. That was a VERY heavy BBS for it's day,
but it /was/ extremely powerful none-the-less. People loved it, which
is what was important most of all.

Yep, if folks don't like it, no one will want to call.

Yep, I have built and run Synchronet and I do like it. I don't run it myself because I could never make it look different than other Sync boards although I'm sure that can be done, plus there are so many Sync boards that I wanted to run something different.

And JavaScript, as mentioned before. I've already programmed at least

The mbse setup script should check if there is a UUCP group. If this is not the case, mention it as error or let the script create the UUCP group. That is the only problem i discovered. Version 1.06 is production for one week now.

I remember reading about your trouble upgrading to 1.0.6, have you made any progress with that?

If you're running an old version of DOSemu, you're gonna have problems.
I'm using the latest version from Github (it has a lot of fixes and
features) with PC-DOS 2000 as the actual DOS setup. No problems here
except multinode Scrabble is having issues with very slow screen updates...dunno why.

I was going to tell him about my board being MBSE. BTW I'm in Wainwright, Alberta now.

I noticed that in the nodelist. Have you made a move recently?

We moved up here about 3 years ago now. Got a job with the municipal government. Also my parents and the rest of the family is close by so it was no brainer to move.

Any way... I don't get on here enough now days. Seems like I'm

I haven't even tried doing the update since I found out I broke it. Seems like
time just isn't on my side any more. Maybe once the kids move out in three to
four years I'll have a chance to do all the things I want to. I don't even get a chance to get on my ham radio much. Maybe this winter I'll be able to get more done. When it drops to -30c you don't want to spend much time out side.
