Hallo Bo,

There are fundemental things I doesn't like about MBSE:
1. It's using JAM, anyhow I could live with that.

There's not anything wrong with JAM, is there?

2. It's using UNIX accounts for users (I can't live with that).

Why not?

3. It's uses Binary configuration files (I can't live with that).

I agree that that's sometimes a bit annoying. Although one gets more er less used to it after a while.

- Maximus is more smart it's "compiles" a plain ASCII configuration
file and take it from there.

Oh yes, the famous mecca :) I wonder if mbse couldn't use something like
that as well. I'll ask Michiel...

been running Maximus and Squish under MS-Dos since March 1992!

Okay. :) It's good and very stable software even on UNIX! :)

When I chenged to Linux, it didn't exist yet... And if somebody would be
kind enough to port GIGO [for the Fidonet <-> Internet gating] I might go
back to them.

I allways wanted to learn Fortran but I'm not studying a place where
they are using that.

I don't think that would be very useful. Nobody uses it any more. The last two years I've not seen one single vacancy that asked for Fortran. Om the other hand: *if* there would be one, the chance that you would get the job is quite big.

Groetjes,

Hans.

Hello Johannes.

I'm just testing MBSE out to see how far Michiel has come, quite far! :)

Well JAM has header limitations like if you gate newsgroups a "references" klugde can only have 100 chars, which very quickly can distrub a newsgroup
;))

2. It's using UNIX accounts for users (I can't live with that).

Why not?

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, I begin to see the smart things in it.

3. It's uses Binary configuration files (I can't live with that).

Indeed, maximus is "silting it" :)

No SILT. It would definately could, the problem is with areas is somebody subscribe to a area by a areafix it would be defficult to see if the binary config og the plaintext file is "the right one". You would properly not understand that, I'm a bad person to write proper sentence.

SoupGate is pretty good.
