Hi all!

I was wondering if there was a way to download a QWK and upload a REP packet from the localqwk directory from the mystic/mystic.exe command line without having to log into the system?

QWKPOLL does it for Networked QWK packets, but for a BBS user you could try something like this and see how it works for you:

mystic -uusername -ppassword "-xmenucmd OD"

^^ This would log you in as that user and run the download QWK packet
function and then logout. Then to upload you could do:

mystic -uusername -ppassword "-xmenucmd OU"

Yes. But the BBS must be running FTP from MIS. All you have to do is use
FTP and log in with your BBS ID. The get the qwk file. Do the reverse to upload the rep file.

This is essentially how qwk networking works.

Um, maybe to speed things up when downloading my own QWK packets and using
an offline mail reader to read and reply offline on the same machine the BBS runs on as I am doing now perhaps?

When A36 is released there will be a Pi version as usual, but I don't know when it will be ready. MIS is being removed in A36 and all of Mystic will be switching over to my newer socket library. There is a lot going on behind the scenes right now.

I'll probably compile a "pre-alpha" version for Pi sometime soon now that Windows and Intel Linux are getting pretty stable.

This is a good idea too as an alternative to executing Mystic directly!

Cuz, GoldEd is cool... Mystic has JAM as a message base... golded reads that just fine... no need to logon or off...

Yes, but I don't want to use GoldEd. At least not for Mystic.

You should be made aware that this version is for Alpha Testers ONLY and should

NOT be used in any production environments per the author. It may very well eat

your lunch!!! lol (One ate mine once)

Really, I'm a tester and am waiting for the actual Alpha release before I install it here. Of course, I do actual production testing myself :-) Note G00R00's Alphas are closer to a Beta in the real world {chuckle}, though FWIW, as a PRE-Alpha you're getting an actual/true Alpha install by any means ...

Its all good...

People can install it if they want, just know that some of these daily builds have been pretty problematic in the past week or two. Lots of changes going on behind the scenes...

With that said, it seems to be running pretty stable at this point for most people. Still some open issues though.

Netmail would have been preferred, but what's done is done I suppose. Then again, I am always up for testing new things. Gotta use the Pi whenever I
get a chance :)

It has been for some time Nicholas, its the responsibility of the op to show restraint if they do not want to use a pre-alpha. Most of us like myself
have been testing and reporting issues back to g00r00 who has been fixing all the known issues quickly.

Cheers!

Just reflecting on this further. I think the point both Nick and I were attempting to make was that the address had not been made public in this
echo. I agree a number (yourself included) are well aware of it but the existence of it was never shared here but in an othernet. In any regard it's all good as g00r00 has commented he's relaxed about it but my initial thought when I saw your original post was similar to Nicks.. should this be disclosed by someone other than the author? I tend to defer to the author to share such things as/when he wants to in case there may have been concerns over version controls etc.

Just my 2 cents...

Best, Paul
