KeyChek -- "Agents" for OPUS?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bernard Aboba
|
|||
|

Fido 204/444
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One of the biggest additions to my OPUS BBS was a mail checking
|
|||
|
|
program. Although I've gone through several of these by now,
|
|||
|
|
and am not satisfied with any one of them, it still strikes me as
|
|||
|
|
wonderful that upon logging in, I get a message telling which of
|
|||
|
|
the hundreds of messages OPUS receives every night are meant for
|
|||
|
|
me.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ok, so I'm easily satisifed. Not quite. I've been thinking of
|
|||
|
|
how to improve on mail checkers, and have come upon an idea that
|
|||
|
|
I think is both simple and powerful. It's the concept of a
|
|||
|
|
keyword checker.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With KeyCheck, each user would have a set of keywords, say up to
|
|||
|
|
10 or so. Every night, KeyCheck would go through the message
|
|||
|
|
base, and search for the presence of the keywords in the To:,
|
|||
|
|
and Subject: fields, or if specified, in the text of the
|
|||
|
|
messages.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With the proliferation of gateway programs like UFGATE and
|
|||
|
|
GATEWAY, the Fido To: field is now often used as a gateway
|
|||
|
|
keyword, rendering conventional mailcheckers useless. With
|
|||
|
|
KeyCheck, users would still be able to check for their mail, by
|
|||
|
|
looking for references in the text of the message.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I have thought about this, and it seems to me that KeyCheck
|
|||
|
|
ought to be feasible on an ordinary XT PC receiving say, 500
|
|||
|
|
messages a day. With the advent of gateways, and the steadily
|
|||
|
|
increasing FidoNet traffic, it's time we started thinking about
|
|||
|
|
creating "agents" as part of FidoNet BBS's.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I am posting this article in order to get a dialog going on the
|
|||
|
|
features that a KeyCheck program should have, and the
|
|||
|
|
enhancement of Fido systems with text search in general.

Universal Mayhem(c) A real killer!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fredric L. Rice
|
|||
|
|
(103/503.1)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem is finally available for general Network
|
|||
|
|
consumption. There are only a few SysOps who know what
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem, (UM), is so I'll give a very brief run-
|
|||
|
|
down on it here.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem is a Doors (tm) or Outside (tm) program
|
|||
|
|
which is basically a shoot-em-up type game in that those
|
|||
|
|
players with accounts constantly maintain a space ship in a
|
|||
|
|
universe and hunt and fight other ships, maintained by other
|
|||
|
|
players. Enemy ships are automated to fight back such that
|
|||
|
|
they are not "sitting ducks."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Planetary commerce, subspace communication between users,
|
|||
|
|
the Galactic Police, black holes, remote robot sensors;
|
|||
|
|
these are some of the things that the current version of UM
|
|||
|
|
has to offer. Alliances between ships may be forged in that
|
|||
|
|
the two allied ships may not fire at each other If an
|
|||
|
|
alliance is broken, the Galactic Police get involved.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you attack an enemy ship, it will return fire with its
|
|||
|
|
torpedoes until they run out, (if they ever do). When no
|
|||
|
|
more torpedoes exist, the automated ship switches to
|
|||
|
|
phasers. While the battle is going on, the automated ship
|
|||
|
|
will attempt evasive which may result in the running battle
|
|||
|
|
from one side of the universe to the other, with the
|
|||
|
|
possible destruction of any planets that happen to be in the
|
|||
|
|
line of fire, (sorry, guys, happens all the time). When
|
|||
|
|
destruction seems to be unavoidable, the automated ship will
|
|||
|
|
attempt a random jump in any direction for the distance its
|
|||
|
|
class warp drive will permit, (you must buy higher classes
|
|||
|
|
of warp drives and even sell them to make profits to buy
|
|||
|
|
other items).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A top-ten list is maintained, showing the top ten strongest
|
|||
|
|
ships and the top ten killers. You may name the planets, (a
|
|||
|
|
universe that is 8000 by 8000 sectors will have 64000
|
|||
|
|
planets).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It's considered unfriendly to battle a ship into submission,
|
|||
|
|
board it, then leave it drifting. It is much nicer to
|
|||
|
|
simply back off a sector and send them one last torpedo to
|
|||
|
|
finish them off.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Subspace messages are sent to the FidoNet BBS system as one
|
|||
|
|
of the mail areas. This can be an echo mail area and will
|
|||
|
|
be used in the future to exchange subspaces messages across
|
|||
|
|
"universes." AREA:MAYHEM as a matter of fact...

BUGS - - -
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Well, there are a few of these. They are NOT going to be
|
|||
|
|
FidoNews 5-35 Page 3 29 Aug 1988
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
fixed, partly because they are not destructive faults, and
|
|||
|
|
most importantly because the C version is soon to be
|
|||
|
|
released. The C version allows the maintenance of command
|
|||
|
|
files which tell a players ship how to act when various
|
|||
|
|
other ships are active. 'Run-From' this ship if he gets too
|
|||
|
|
close, 'Attack' this ship if he signs in, 'Assist' this ship
|
|||
|
|
if he attacks someone, 'Defend' this ship if he gets
|
|||
|
|
attacked. These are the various commands that the C version
|
|||
|
|
has. The C version also has corresponding white holes for
|
|||
|
|
the black holes in the universe. Entry into a black hole
|
|||
|
|
causes the exit at a known space in the universe where
|
|||
|
|
reentry into the nearest black hole will return a ship back
|
|||
|
|
to its point of departure.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DISADVANTAGES - - -
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem the current version requires a lot of disk
|
|||
|
|
space to run. Some 1 meg or 1.2 meg of disk space to have a
|
|||
|
|
universe some 8000 by 8000 sectors. The C version, which is
|
|||
|
|
soon to be released, will allow a universe of 32000 by 32000
|
|||
|
|
sectors using 1 meg. Testing has shown that a universe of
|
|||
|
|
64000 by 64000 is easily possible if space is available.

If you are interested in Universal Mayhem, The BASIC
|
|||
|
|
version, it is downloadable from Astro-Net (103/503), at
|
|||
|
|
714-662-2294. If you wish, send me network mail along with

|
|||
|
|
configuration information, send me network mail.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you run Universal Mayhem, let me know through network
|
|||
|
|
mail so that I may mail you the C version when it hits its

MAYHEM.ARC - (Downloadable)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem, the BASIC version
|
|||
|
|
Contains everything you need, including
|
|||
|
|
GATEWAY.ARC for the console redirection
|
|||
|
|
required. A sample config file is
|
|||
|
|
enclosed for a universe of 8000 by 8000.
|
|||
|
|
The allowable time to play and systems
|
|||
|
|
password is stored in the config file and
|
|||
|
|
will need modification.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CUM.ARC - (Downloadable) C Version of
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem (Document only) This
|
|||
|
|
file contains the documentation for the C
|
|||
|
|
version of Universal Mayhem. It details
|
|||
|
|
the functions in the source code and
|
|||
|
|
describes what they do. At the function
|
|||
|
|
level documentation, a complete
|
|||
|
|
description of the game is available.

CUMCARD.ARC - (Downloadable) Business
|
|||
|
|
cards will be mailed to SysOps who run
|
|||
|
|
the C version of Universal Mayhem. This
|
|||
|
|
file describes the business cards and how
|
|||
|
|
to ask for them. I will mail cards free
|
|||
|
|
of charge to all SysOps so that they are
|
|||
|
|
distributed to their users also free of
|
|||
|
|
charge. The cards sport a really neat
|
|||
|
|
planet with a sword plunged into it
|
|||
|
|
surrounded with wheat stocks. The
|
|||
|
|
symbolism is described in this file.
|
|||
|
|
Cards are used by players to identify
|
|||
|
|
them as Mayhemites and will entitle them
|
|||
|
|
to nothing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
UMSOURCE.ARC - (By mail only) The source
|
|||
|
|
code, congesting of two files, is not
|
|||
|
|
made available for general release. This
|
|||
|
|
is because of the FidoNet message
|
|||
|
|
interface function which can be miss-
|
|||
|
|
used. Also, Universal Mayhem represents
|
|||
|
|
a LOT of work which I want to sell. If
|
|||
|
|
you would like to obtain the source code,
|
|||
|
|
send me ten bucks in a check or something
|
|||
|
|
and I'll mail a floppy. The source is in
|
|||
|
|
Digital Researches Compiler BASIC and is
|
|||
|
|
some 200K or so due to the HEAVY use of
|
|||
|
|
in-line documentation. The code was
|
|||
|
|
originally intended for release into the
|
|||
|
|
Public Domain and as such was documented
|
|||
|
|
because of the need to allow
|
|||
|
|
modifications easily. The source is
|
|||
|
|
copyrighted and may not be redistributed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CUMSOURCE.ARC - (By mail only at a later
|
|||
|
|
date) The C version, written in C, uses
|
|||
|
|
linked-list structures and contains the
|
|||
|
|
kernel of a psudomulti- tasking
|
|||
|
|
environment. This is intended to
|
|||
|
|
automate the ships via command files that
|
|||
|
|
the players maintain. Because of the
|
|||
|
|
technology involved in the development of
|
|||
|
|
the C version, the source is not to be
|
|||
|
|
made available to the Public Domain, (the
|
|||
|
|
ships can even be made to move as a timed
|
|||
|
|
event from the FidoNet software). If you
|
|||
|
|
are interested in obtaining the source
|
|||
|
|
for the C version, I require fifty
|
|||
|
|
dollars for it as a check or something.
|
|||
|
|
I will require a written agreement,
|
|||
|
|
however, acknowledging copyright holding
|
|||
|
|
if you want the source to the C version.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Eventually, C Universal Mayhem will allow the running of and
|
|||
|
|
the destruction of other ships sitting in other universes.
|
|||
|
|
The way this is to work is through network mail. A captain
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
on Astro-Net may destroy a ship which is captained by a
|
|||
|
|
player on another node. At night the data differences are
|
|||
|
|
transmitted and both systems are updated to reflect the
|
|||
|
|
destruction. This can, of course, be turned off to seclude
|
|||
|
|
game play to one universe.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- - -
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Universal Mayhem is, and as was intended, solely for the use
|
|||
|
|
of FidoNet people for the propagation of honest
|
|||
|
|
bloodletting. Beta testing has been underway for the last
|
|||
|
|
eight months and is available for evaluation at Astro-Net.
|
|||
|
|
This enables you, the SysOp and user alike, to run the game
|
|||
|
|
before spending the time of downloading it.

MENSA Echo Conference Grows Onto The Backbone
|
|||
|
|
by George Falcon, 1:109/648
|
|||
|
|
Moderator, MENSA Echo Conference
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For about six months now, I've been keeping the FidoNet
|
|||
|
|
community aware of the growth of the MENSA Echo Conference
|
|||
|
|
since I assumed responsibility for it back in February. I've
|
|||
|
|
posted the list of systems carrying the conference in the hope
|
|||
|
|
that those of you interested in participating could find an easy
|
|||
|
|
link to the conference.
|
|||
|
|
An easy link is even easier now. A few weeks ago the MENSA
|
|||
|
|
Echo Conference went onto the national "backbone" of echomail
|
|||
|
|
distribution. At last count, there were 81 systems
|
|||
|
|
participating, far too many to list here. The conference is NOT
|
|||
|
|
restricted to member sysops or users, but is completely open, and
|
|||
|
|
serves as an interface between the organization and the FidoNet
|
|||
|
|
community.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What is MENSA?
|
|||
|
|
Mensa is an international organization with only one
|
|||
|
|
requirement for membership - a performance on a standardized
|
|||
|
|
I.Q. test (or certain alternative tests, such as the CEEB, SAT,
|
|||
|
|
GRE, LSAT, etc.) in the top 2% of the general population.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MENSA membership
|
|||
|
|
American Mensa has over 53,000 members, and another
|
|||
|
|
15,000 members belong to national Mensas in many countries.
|
|||
|
|
There are Mensans in 98 countries throughout the world.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MENSA's purposes
|
|||
|
|
1) to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit
|
|||
|
|
of humanity
|
|||
|
|
2) to encourage research in the nature, characteristics, and
|
|||
|
|
uses of intelligence
|
|||
|
|
3) to provide a stimulating intellectual and social
|
|||
|
|
environment for its members
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"MENSA" defined
|
|||
|
|
Mensa is Latin for "table." We are a round-table society
|
|||
|
|
that makes no distinctions as to race, color, creed, national
|
|||
|
|
origin, age, or eco-nomic, educational, or social status. Only
|
|||
|
|
intelligence matters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MENSA organization
|
|||
|
|
American Mensa has about 130 Local Groups, located in all
|
|||
|
|

Episode 7: Getting Back Into FidoNet
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hello, friends of old and new. I'm back. I was on
|
|||
|
|
vacation for awhile (There are those who would say that I've been
|
|||
|
|
on vacation for a LONG while), but that doesn't account for the
|
|||
|
|
length of time I've been away. My last column was, of course, in
|
|||
|
|
FidoNews 5-15, way back in April. Here I am, over four months
|
|||
|
|
later, trying to pick up where I left off. Well, I guess I have
|
|||
|
|
some explaining to do.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm sorry for abandoning the newsletter when I was just
|
|||
|
|
getting started on a regular column; I'm sorry for the MASS of
|
|||
|
|
EchoMail I generated in response to the 'Disincorporate IFNA'
|
|||
|
|
campaign; I'm sorry I allowed Node 128/31 to die this summer; and
|
|||
|
|
I'm sorry I can't attend FidoCon. Most of all, I'm sorry I
|
|||
|
|
didn't get my ballots off in time; I have not contributed well to
|
|||
|
|
FidoNet this year.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, EagleTech BBS is up again, with me as its new SysOp
|
|||
|
|
and such, though at time of writing I'm still waiting on Node
|
|||
|
|
reassignment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thank you, FidoNet SysOps, for the times past when I was a
|
|||
|
|
user; thanks again for the short time I was a co-sysop and
|
|||
|
|
columnist for FidoNews; and thanks in advance for the fun times
|
|||
|
|
to come.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Yes, FidoNet is fun; chatting with the users, and our local
|
|||
|
|
GENERAL echo in town gets loads of users from time to time when a
|
|||
|
|
discussion gets underway about copyright laws or the size of the
|
|||
|
|
sign outside of town; and direct overnight communications with
|
|||
|
|
both old friends and new ones found here in FidoNet is always a
|
|||
|
|
treat. (Hi Geof! I should be back in the NodeList soon.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With the fun comes the responsibility, however, to run the
|
|||
|
|
node with care; respecting other SysOps' needs in FidoNet;
|
|||
|
|
working out tech problems with them; helping new users get
|
|||
|
|
'smart' on telecommunications basics; keeping the file and
|
|||
|
|
message areas clean; and contributing wherever there is a lack of
|
|||
|
|
true communication in FidoNet. I haven't gotten involved enough
|
|||
|
|
with FidoNet to say I've been a help. I guess it's time for a
|
|||
|
|
change.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Well, I didn't vote, so whatever happens this year, like it
|
|||
|
|
or not, I have to face up to the fact that I did nothing to avert
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|

it. I guess the Net is in y'alls' hands, now. See ya' next week.

Software Trade: International Medical Software Exchange
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As sysop of a PC-Pursuitable medically related BBS, I'm
|
|||
|
|
interested in exchanging public domain medical software with
|
|||
|
|
computer users throughout the U.S. and in other countries as
|
|||
|
|
well. I currently have 5 meg of medically related software on-
|
|||
|
|
line and FREQ-able (contact me via netmail during NMH for my
|
|||
|
|
operating hours, which are variable).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'd be interested in trading software through U.S. mail with
|
|||
|
|
anyone who has interests similar to mine. Please contact me via
|
|||
|
|
netmail to work out the logistics of such a trade.

NOTICE: Region 18 has a NEW Region Echomail Coordinator.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Jon Hall at 123/12 has taken over the duties of
|
|||
|
|
REC for Region 18. This change was not noted in
|
|||
|
|
this week's Nodelist due to late notice and the
|
|||
|
|
occurance of FidoCon V. The listing for 1/218
|
|||
|
|
is NOT correct since it reflects the information
|
|||
|
|
for the previous REC 18, Jerry Cole at 123/2.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Please update your system accordingly. The change
|
|||
|
|
FidoNews 5-35 Page 10 29 Aug 1988
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
in 1/218 should be reflected in Nodelist.246.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
123/12 is set up will ALL of the Echo control
|
|||
|
|
files from 123/2. The Alternate Hubs in Region 18
|
|||
|
|
are unaffected as of this writing.
|

|

|

|
|
Thank you.
