A New Look for Fidonews
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've made some changes here. I finally got around to
|
||
|
|
working on the newsletter generator, as I've been meaning to
|
||
|
|
for awhile now. It makes life a great deal easier at our
|
||
|
|
end. The changes aren't that apparent to the reader,
|
||
|
|
though.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What readers WILL notice is that we now have a table of
|
||
|
|
contents. It was suggested just recently, and judging from
|
||
|
|
the flood of messages we've gotten, we gather it's something
|
||
|
|
you really want.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We'll need your help to do make it work. When you submit an
|
||
|
|
article, you should put a content line at the beginning of
|
||
|
|
the file. This is just an asterisk ("*") followed by a
|
||
|
|
short description of your article. Everything after the
|
||
|
|
asterisk will appear in the table of contents, and not in
|
||
|
|
the article.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your article won't get bounced just because it doesn't have
|
||
|
|
a content line -- it just won't show up on the table of
|
||
|
|
contents. Unless, of course, we go in and add one
|
||
|
|
ourselves, about which we make no promises.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other big change is that we are using ARC to pack the
|
||
|
|
newsletter for mailing, by popular demand. We'll also be
|
||
|
|
making our first test mailing to the regional coordinators.
|
||
|
|
If all goes well, we'll scrap the present distribution
|
||
|
|
system entirely.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each regional coordinator will be getting FNEWSvnn.ARC,
|
||
|
|
which will contain FIDOvnn.NWS, where "vnn" is the volume
|
||
|
|
and issue number (227, in this case). I still feel funny
|
||
|
|
putting just one file in an archive, but the fan mail has
|
||
|
|
convinced me.

Utility for Sysops
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have written a small utility that has proven to be very
|
||
|
|
useful to me as well as a few other sysops. It's a simple
|
||
|
|
program that renames a file to the current system date.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, if the date were Oct. 21, 1985..., and I ran
|
||
|
|
this program as such "CHG2DATE SYSOP.LOG" then the file
|
||
|
|
SYSOP.LOG would be renamed to 21OCT85.LOG. Note that the
|
||
|
|
extension does NOT change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you may be saying "So what" or "Big deal", but this
|
||
|
|
small program has come in very handy many times. What I
|
||
|
|
do is, every night.., one minute before midnight, I run an
|
||
|
|
external event which changes the names of the SYSOP.LOG and
|
||
|
|
the MAILER.LOG files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I usually let these accumulate until the end of the month
|
||
|
|
when I combine them into an ARChive file according to the
|
||
|
|
month, such as OCT85HIS.ARC for Octobers history.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recently, I wanted to find a person who had changed their
|
||
|
|
name the month before and see what their name was before
|
||
|
|
they changed it. It was really simple using a small batch
|
||
|
|
file that I wrote. I just entered the paramters and used
|
||
|
|
the DOS FIND command to search thru the files to find it,
|
||
|
|
such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LOOK ??OCT85.LOG "Name changed to: Bernie Lawrence"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The program searched all the matching files and displayed
|
||
|
|
the line with the name change in it. Then all I had to do
|
||
|
|
was to type the file that it was found in. The LOOK.BAT
|
||
|
|
file is very simple and only contains:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ECHO OFF
|
||
|
|
FOR %%f IN (%1) DO FIND %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 %%f
|
||
|
|
ECHO ON
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reason for the long list of parameters is so you can
|
||
|
|
enter up to eight words to search for. You MUST enclose
|
||
|
|
the string to search for within quotes! You can also
|
||
|
|
use the FIND programs switches such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LOOK ??OCT85.LOG /N "Name changed to: Bernie Lawrence"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be used for many things..., say you want to find
|
||
|
|
out how many times Bernie Lawrence logged onto your baord
|
||
|
|
on Oct 5, 1985. All you would have to do is enter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LOOK 05OCT85.LOG /C "Bernie Lawrence on"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and you get a count of the number of times he logged on,
|
||
|
|
on Oct 5, 1985. This batch will only work effectively if
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fidonews Page 3 28 Oct 1985
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
used in conjunction with the CHG2DATE.COM program, since
|
||
|
|
this provides a way of keeping the days seperate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CHG2DATE.COM is a small program written in assembler. It
|
||
|
|
only takes up 698 bytes of space. It's command format is
|
||
|
|
simple..., you just place the name of the file to rename
|
||
|
|
on the command line such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CHG2DATE SYSOP.LOG
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file SYSOP.LOG would be renamed, and the extension
|
||
|
|
would remain the same.
|
||
|
|
Note: Since the extension remains the same, rename the
|
||
|
|
MAILER.LOG to MAILER.MAL before renaming it to avoid
|
||
|
|
duplicate names. Otherwise, CHG2DATE will abort with
|
||
|
|
an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program, combined with the LOOK.BAT file is handy for
|
||
|
|
looking at all the mail that was sent out during a month or
|
||
|
|
just on a particular day. For instance, if you wanted to
|
||
|
|
see all the Nodes that had mail successfully sent to them
|
||
|
|
and the days it was sent, then you could enter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LOOK 20OCT85.MAL "Yes"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and a list like this would be displayed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------- 20OCT85.MAL
|
||
|
|
124/11 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 00:22 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/7 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 00:44 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/11 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 00:19 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 00:30 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/7 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 00:44 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/8 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 01:06 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/11 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 00:27 Yes
|
||
|
|
124/12 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 00:29 Yes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Again.., you could have used ??OCT85.MAL to get a list for
|
||
|
|
the whole month.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well.., now that I've explained a few of the benifits, let
|
||
|
|
me explain how to set it up to run. It's not very hard to
|
||
|
|
implement at all. All you have to do is set up an external
|
||
|
|
event with a tag of X and give it the errorlevel to exit to
|
||
|
|
DOS with. The event should be set up to last only one minute
|
||
|
|
since that is more than enough time. I have chosen an
|
||
|
|
errorlevel of 20 and so I'll show you how I have my runbbs
|
||
|
|
batch file set up.

wait till the entire one minute is up so that the event
|
||

is not executed again.

I hope that you will find this program of use and if you
|
||
|
|
would like to get a copy of it, you can download it from
|
||
|
|
my board, or from one of the other nodes in my Net. The
|
||
|
|
program waitn.com can also be downloaded from my board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: This program was written in MS-DOS on an IBM PC
|
||
|
|
and it will work on MS-DOS machines.

|
The Amateur Radio operators here at 101/105 have been en-
|
||
|
|
joying the responses to our Fidogram service that began
|
||
|
|
last month - (see Fidonews 9/09/85). For those of you who
|
||
|
|
didn't read it (gasp!) we'll recap briefly:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Personal (non-business) telegrams to anyone with a
|
||
|
|
telephone can now be accepted by Fido. Free, no charge
|
||
|
|
- gratis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. There's no limit to the number of Fidograms you can
|
||
|
|
send for free, but each Fidogram must be kept rather
|
||
|
|
short. 20-25 words seems about right. Remember - vol-
|
||
|
|
unteer radio operators will be delivering these for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. You may not attempt delivery of any Fidogram that con-
|
||
|
|
tains:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A. Material compensation, direct or indirect to any
|
||
|
|
party.
|
||
|
|
B. Codes or ciphers meant to disguise the true meaning
|
||
|
|
of the message.
|
||
|
|
C. Suggestive or foul language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here's some of the typical questions we've been asked:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Can I send a Fidogram to my Aunt matilda in Mexico?
|
||
|
|
Yes, Mexico is one of the countrys whose government
|
||
|
|
shares an agreement with our government, allowing Fido-
|
||
|
|
grams via Amateur Radio. many countries in Central and
|
||
|
|
south America have this agreement with us; most of the
|
||
|
|
European countries do not. Remember, however, that
|
||
|
|
final delivery of your message will depend entirely
|
||
|
|
upon our locating an Amateur Radio operator within free
|
||
|
|
calling distance of the addressee. We recommend that
|
||
|
|
you begin initially by sending Fidograms to more pop-
|
||
|
|
ulated areas here in the USA...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Can I send "happy Thanksgiving" messages with the same
|
||
|
|
text to 30 people in 20 different cities? You betcha -
|
||
|
|
we call these "book" messages - but be sure to always
|
||
|
|
include your own complete name, address, and voice tel-
|
||
|
|
ephone number as well as the same complete info for
|
||
|
|
each addressee. In this example, the text need only be
|
||
|
|
sent once.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. How long does it take to deliver my Fidograms? Sorry,
|
||
|
|
that's a toughie to answer; if it's going to a place in
|
||
|
|
New England, we'd estimate a day or two. Other desti-
|
||
|
|
nations in the USA should take less than 3 days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Why so long? Well now, you wouldn't be guilty of for-
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

the price (you can probably squeeze one heckuva lotta

|
fidograms into one piece of Fidomail!) it's still a

|
The Amateur Radio operators actually appreciate the opp-
|
||
|
|
ortunity to offer this service to Fido users. These mess-
|
||
|
|
ages are grist in our radio mills - ways to exercise uour
|
||
|
|
skills and equipment. We realize that we're likely to be
|
||
|
|
hit up fairly hard around the holidays and - particularly
|
||
|
|
from college-area Fidos - during the weeks prior to Val-
|
||
|
|
entine's day. That's fine - overloads of message traffic
|
||
|
|
help us to spot our weaknesses. Feel free to try and in-
|
||
|
|
undate us.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fidograms, as well as questions & criticisms regarding them
|
||
|
|
can be sent to Luck Hurder at Fido 101/105.

WE'VE CHANGED OUR NET/NODE
|
||
|
|
BUT NOT OUR STRUGGLE!
|
||
|
|
By Christopher Baker, Sysop,
|
||
|
|
Metro-Fire Fido, 135/14
|
||
|
|
==============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is just to let everyone know that Metro-Fire Fido has
|
||
|
|
moved to a new net/node location in your trusty nodelist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are now part the Miami Area Network, Net 135. This too
|
||
|
|
is temporary, since we intend to form a Special Interest
|
||
|
|
Region for Fire Departments. Several departments are now
|
||
|
|
studying the possibilities of linking up with Fido and
|
||
|
|
FidoNet. As soon as one or two more come together, I will
|
||
|
|
be applying for a Region number assignment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You in FidoLand can continue to assist me in my endeavor
|
||
|
|
by passing these articles to anyone you know in any Fire
|
||
|
|
Department anywhere. (See also FidoNews 227 & 229.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As an update, Metro-Fire Fido now has two doctors on-line
|
||
|
|
for questions and answers related to EMS, Trauma Networks,
|
||
|
|
Hyperbaric Medicine, Diving Trauma, and General surgery
|
||
|
|
and other medical questions. We are looking for an Expert-
|
||
|
|
in-Residence to take up the gauntlet of Hazardous
|
||
|
|
Materials, Water Rescue, Apparatus, Training, Safety, and
|
||
|
|
any other areas of interest to the Fire/Rescue Services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please feel free to lend your support/assistance/expertise
|
||
|
|
or to contribute information to our system. Verification
|
||
|
|
for access to our system can be made by FidoMail or call
|
||
|
|
305-596-8611 and leave information to the Sysop. The board
|
||
|
|
runs in the private mode from 2230 Sunday til 1800 Friday
|
||
|
|
and in the semi-private mode from 1800 Friday til 2230
|
||
|
|
Sunday.

BROTHER, CAN YA SPARE THE TIME?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
by Ben Baker, 100/76
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hey look people, I'm the guy who started this whole
|
||
|
|
daylight saving time controversy in a phone conversation
|
||
|
|
with Thom H. and I can't believe EVERYBODY has missed the
|
||
|
|
point completely!!!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have a time period we call "The National FidoNet
|
||
|
|
Mail Window." Now, I don't care if your clock reads 15:23
|
||
|
|
when it begins, so long as your schedule says "begin mail at
|
||
|
|
15:23!" Do with your clocks what you will, but I think
|
||
|
|
you'll agree that we all have to start the "National Window"
|
||
|
|
together more or less.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We call it the "National Window" and its time was
|
||
|
|
selected because the whole nation can make calls when the
|
||
|
|
rates are lowest. Right? -- WRONG!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One whole state is so far west that in the winter its
|
||
|
|
"National Window" starts at 11pm. Well, it's early OK, but
|
||
|
|
they still get the cheap rates. Right? -- WRONG AGAIN!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They are also so far south that they get more or less
|
||
|
|
twelve hours of daylight all the time, so they don't bother
|
||
|
|
with daylight savings time. So when we push our clocks
|
||
|
|
forward in the Spring, we push their "National Window" back
|
||
|
|
to 10pm and there went the cheap rates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I speak, of course, of Hawaii. (Alaska probably would
|
||
|
|
have a similar problem, but we don't have any Fido nodes up
|
||
|
|
there. . .yet.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, what I suggested, for this reason alone, was that
|
||
|
|
when we get the "National Window" back to 0900 hrs
|
||
|
|
Coordinated Universal Time next week, we keep it there.
|
||
|
|
Then the entire nation would have access to the cheap rates
|
||
|
|
most of us enjoy year 'round.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And you can set your clock any way you like!

Help!? Are there any Fido software collectors out there?
|
||
|
|
due to modem incompatibilities with the later versions of
|
||
|
|
Fido, I am forced to use an older version (10e, gadzooks!).
|
||
|
|
That's no big problem, but I would like to have all the
|
||
|
|
software I need to set this up. I do have almost all of the
|
||
|
|
necessary files but one: ROUTE.EXE. Soooo, that's what I
|
||
|
|
need! Is there anyone out there with an old ROUTE.EXE
|
||
|
|
program floating around on a floppy somewhere? Ifso, a reply
|
||
|
|
would be great! I'm kinda in need, so any information would
|
||
|
|
help! Just send me a reply to Matt Carpenter (me) at Fido
|
||
|
|
108/10, Allen's Board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, is Charles H. Downs out there? Leave me a FidoNet msg
|
||
|
|
I need to contact you! (if any of you know him, relay this
|
||
|
|
please, if possible)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Help, anyone?

|
|
|
||
|
|
The node list for day number 298 (NODELIST.298 and
|
||
|
|
NODELIST.A98) has the wrong phone number for node 1/1. The
|
||
|

correct phone number is:

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1-201-472-8065
|

Please fix the phone number in your node list before sending
|
||
|
|
anything to Fidonews, node 1/1.
