Hey, great comments!
|
|
Yes, Metra is a bit better - the main thing that makes laptopping
|
|
possible is the "upper deck" of the old IC line - where you're not
|
|
elbow-to-elbow with anyone.
|
|
My T1100+ works "ok", but 10# is just too much to lug around
|
|
regularly. Worst, I use it all day at work so it doesn't get charged
|
|
very well. I DO try to take it home monthly for a few deep discharges.
|
|
Quick Cobol? An oxymoron if I ever heard one!

to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/QBASIC
|
|
|
|
Sounds like by far the simplest solution for your needs (assuming all
|
|
your data are "printable" characters) is simply to set the high bit
|
|
to "encrypt" and reset it for use. (I.e., OR each character with 80H,
|
|
then AND it with 7FH.) Good luck.

Msg 41674 is 28 line(s) on 04/11/89 from JERRY OLSEN
|
|
to FRANK SPIVEY II re: RUNNING A BBS
|
|
|
|
Running a "good" BBS does indeed involve quite a bit of time and nurturing.
|
|
After getting it up and running, it involves time every day without
|
|
fail both to meet its basic needs and to protect oneself from potential
|
|
legal problems. All that aside, one soon becomes dissatisfied with
|
|
at least SOME aspect(s) of the software, and probably will want to
|
|
invest time in enhancing it. And of course there are the inevitable
|
|
problems. And when they creep in, usually immediate attention is necessary
|
|
-not at a more convenient time, say, on the weekend. Then there's
|
|
the necessity of message-base purging, etc. And if you will be having
|
|
file transfer capability, as Ward noted, that involves time too. Besides
|
|
the issues he mentioned, you'd almost certainly want to institute (and
|
|
follow through on) validation procedures. As a sysop, I view that as
|
|
a basic requirement to protect callers. You NEED to be able to keep track
|
|
of callers to protect against the very occasional intentional uploader
|
|
of bogus software.There's more, but that's a start. In short, it's
|
|
a real commitment to do it "right." (And there are more than a few
|
|
places out there that do a poor job.).I don't want to discourage
|
|
you, but I've worked with many people wanting to set up systems and
|
|
it's best they know what's involved BEFORE committing themselves, and
|
|
before building a constituency only to go off-line a few months later
|
|
(a common occurrence). But if you have the time, the funds and the
|
|
energy, it provides real satisfaction.As for modems, the one you
|
|
mention sounds fine from what I've read (but haven't used). In general,
|
|
be sure it's <100%> Hayes compatible (or otherwise if fully supported
|
|
by your software. BBSes place significantly greater demands upon modems
|
|
in terms of commands and reliability than more common applications,
|
|
and you don't want to create unnecessary headaches with hardware. (The
|
|
software problems are enough!) Good luck.

|
to DAN SEIBOLD re: R/SWAPPING BOARDS
|
|
|
|
There are quite a few ways you could run into trouble. I'd suspect that the
|
|
system-specific issues are going to lead you into too many headaches in
|
|
the long run. I'd also be concerned about the ability to move up to a
|
|
later version of the OS as well.which is something you're going to
|
|
want to be able to do to run some more contemporary software. (BTW, I've
|
|
posted a reply to your other query over my way.)

|
to ALAN LAYA re: R/PASCAL EXEC-ING
|
|
|
|
Like Eric, I don't have experience with TP but regularly use EXEC-ing
|
|
in C. Yes, DO ensure your command-line arguments are EXACTLY right.
|
|
If you can put up a sample of a command line that does work and one
|
|
that causes problems, it might help a bit in determining the source
|
|
of the problem. In the meantime, here's a long shot: If something like
|
|
COMMAND GWBASIC BOO doesn't work, try COMMAND /C GWBASIC BOO, which
|
|
is simply a way to tell COMMAND.COM to execute the command line, then
|
|
return to the calling program. I use that with an "on the fly" batch
|
|
command processor I wrote to avoid a similar problem. Other than that,
|
|
unless you have some examples, I'd say to ENSURE that you've got spacing
|
|
just right (esp. no spaces in unwanted places). Good luck.

to ALL re: TP4 EXEC PROBS
|
|
|
|
Thanks a million to all (esp. Eric and Jerry) who took the time to
|
|
ponder my so-called "problem" with the TP4 "exec" function. In case
|
|
y'all are wondering, the solution was somewhat unexpected, but after a
|
|
few tinkering sessions I finally found a way to make it work: by
|
|
simply not "mentioning" the command processor at all.i.e. instead
|
|
of using exec('wp.exe','command.com'); I used exec('wp.exe',' ');.
|
|
and believe it or not, it seems to work (for now anyway).
|
|
And now I'm off on a mision to find out why this is so.
|
|
Any ideas?
