|
||
A call for articles
|
||
|
||
For the past several months, the bulletin board community
|
||
has been filled with discussions on the recent SEA/PKWare
|
||
lawsuits. Rumors have flown through many of the electronic
|
||
conferences with people both defending and accusing SEA. With yet
|
||
another round starting up with the second lawsuit, I'm going to
|
||
try something.
|
||
|
||
In two weeks, there is going to be a special edition of
|
||
FidoNews. It will focus on the SEA/PKWare lawsuits. I am
|
||
currently soliciting articles from both Phil Katz (PKWare) and
|
||
Thom Henderson (SEA). In addition to these individuals, I am
|
||
asking for the opinions of everyone reading this editorial. In
|
||
order to make it easier, I pledge to do everything within my
|
||
power to make every submission acceptable to MakeNews. As long as
|
||
you get me something close to specs, it will go into this special
|
||
edition. Send them in as files, as messages, disks through the
|
||
mail. If I can determine how it was made, and can convert it to
|
||
straight ASCII, I WILL print it.
|
||
|
||
Why am I doing this? I'm primarily doing this because I am
|
||
quickly becoming disgusted with the behavior of my fellow sysops.
|
||
I've heard many of the facts about the first case and believe
|
||
that SEA's actions were the correct and honorable thing to do.
|
||
While some of the reason's on the first lawsuit were first
|
||
reported in FidoNews, many seem to have missed the article or are
|
||
choosing to ignore it. The bulletin board community has a right
|
||
to feel concern over this issue, but before we all start
|
||
condemning individuals, let's make sure we have the facts.
|
||
FidoNet is meant to help communication, and to me this means that
|
||
we find out the facts instead of flying off the handle. If it
|
||
turns out that many of my fellow sysops and their users are
|
||
willing to turn a blind eye to the truth, then it will be my turn
|
||
to pass on the flame. I can not stay in a network should the
|
||
network at large feel inclined towards injustice, it will become
|
||
my time to leave the network. So write your opinion, send it in,
|
||
make you position public knowledge.
|
||
|
||
What is my opinion? Find out in two weeks...

PACKET RADIO PROJECT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS NEEDS HELP
|
||
|
||
A high school teacher in the L.A. area, working with the
|
||
National Science Foundation and the JPL, is setting up a
|
||
program to network schools together using amateur radio
|
||
packet nets. Assistance is needed immediately from amateur
|
||
radio operators or others with the appropriate interests
|
||
and backgrounds to help install, maintain, and instruct
|
||
teachers on the usage of these nodes. The network is even-
|
||
tually expected to be worldwide.
|
||
|
||
To become a volunteer, or to get information on using
|
||
packet radio in your school, contact:

EMAIL SYSTEM FOR BLIND NEEDS PROGRAMMERS, DOCUMENTERS
|
||
|
||
Talking Dog is a personal FidoNet-compatible emailer for
|
||
the blind which uses a speech synthesizer, being developed
|
||
in C using existing source code as much as possible. TD
|
||
will be public domain.
|
||
|
||
The TD project has immediate need for:
|
||
|
||
+ Source code in C (preferably MicroSoft) for a message
|
||
reader/writer that can shell out to the user's choice
|
||
of editors.
|
||
|
||
+ C programmers (again, preferably with MicroSoft com-
|
||
pilers) to complete the modifications to the other
|
||
utilities being used.
|
||
|
||
+ Experienced document writers, preferably with some
|

INVITATION TO JOIN ECHO FOR KIDS
|
||
|
||
All teachers, and sysops with children between the ages of
|
||
"old enough to type" and 12th grade are invited to partici-
|
||
pate in the KIDS echo. This echo is for pen-pal activities
|
||
between kids, and for parents and teachers to also join in
|
||
the fun and to communicate with each other. At 50+ messages
|
||
per day, this is one of the hotter echos around. About 2
|
||
months ago, it went international to Australia and Canada.
|
||
A link to the UK is also in the works.
|
||
|
||
To participate in this echo, contact Paul Witherspoon, KIDS
|
||
echo coordinator, at 1:383/6.

Fredric L. Rice Warns of Nuclear Disasters
|
||
In FidoNews Volume 5, Number 36
|
||
(5 September 1988)
|
||
|
||
Written September 10, 1988 by George Falcon
|
||
Sysop 1:109/648
|
||
"The Falcon's Rock"
|
||
Hub of the MENSA and MWM Echo Conferences
|
||
|
||
As someone disappointed in seeing the growth of the world
|
||
population without maintaining growth in awareness of our planet's
|
||
needs, I'm sorry to see that Mr. Rice has chosen the anti-nuclear
|
||
argument to defend. The argument against nuclear power could be
|
||
made a great deal more potent without the numerous inaccuracies
|
||
in his article.
|
||
|
||
Mr. Rice omitted the source of his expertise. I cannot claim a
|
||
degree in nuclear, mechanical, electrical, chemical, or civil
|
||
engineering, in physics or health physics. In fact, I cannot yet
|
||
lay claim to any degree at all! I was impressed, therefore, when
|
||
I was able to see so many obvious faults in the text of Mr. Rice's
|
||
article on a topic for which he is so obviously unprepared. Surely
|
||
there must be less expensive ways to make oneself appear foolish
|
||
than to purchase a computer and invest hundreds of hours and
|
||
dollars to write a weak article like his. At the very least he
|
||
should have named as closely as possible the sources of his
|
||
information.
|
||
|
||
I work for a large computer services company in support of the
|
||
Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office of Nuclear Reactor
|
||
Regulation. I maintain the staff files, produce the staff input
|
||
reports, and input the data from those reports into the IBM Model
|
||
3090 mainframe which the NRC leases from the National Institutes
|
||
of Health. I have seen the time each of these engineers spends in
|
||
resolving each tiny aspect of each plant's operation (whether
|
||
power or nonpower). I am, for this article, and for the sake of
|
||
clarity and accuracy, taking sides with the nuclear industry.
|
||
Please remember, though, that I would much rather we were using
|
||
a source less hazardous to life on this planet.
|
||
|
||
In reading Mr. Rice's article, aside from numerous misspellings,
|
||
I noted the following items to which I take exception:
|
||
|
||
1. On page 5, he says, "There are a bewildering number of
|
||
nuclear reactors strung along the California coast line."
|
||
I find it difficult to understand why Mr. Rice would be bewildered
|
||
by trying to count to four. That's how many operational nuclear
|
||
power plants there are in the state of California.
|
||
|
||
2. There are basically two types of reactors: Boiling Water
|
||
Reactors (BWR's) and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR's). Mr.
|
||
Rice does not mention the second type, but there are power plants
|
||
in which the nuclear fuel simply pressurizes, rather than boils, the
|
||
water. Most people say that water "changes phase" when it
|
||
becomes steam, rather than saying that water "expands" into
|
||
steam, as Mr. Rice does at the bottom of page 5 and top of page
|
||
FidoNews 5-38 Page 5 19 Sep 1988
|
||
|
||
|
||
6.
|
||
|
||
3. On page 6, paragraph one, line 12, Mr. Rice that "the Atomic
|
||
Energy Commission will allow leaky fuel rods to remain in
|
||
operation until the rad count rises to well above the legal limit."
|
||
The engineers here would be breaking to law to permit such
|
||
operation. If Mr. Rice knows of such a violation and fails to
|
||
notify the Department of Justice, wouldn't he be an accomplice?
|
||
I suspect that he doesn't know of any such violation, probably
|
||
because there aren't any. In addition, the Atomic Energy
|
||
Commission was reorganized fourteen years ago. The
|
||
responsibilities carried by the AEC have been borne by the
|
||
Nuclear Regulatory Commission since that time. Has Mr. Rice
|
||
been doing his research in a time capsule?
|
||
|
||
4. Page 6, para. 4: I think what Mr. Rice was aiming for when
|
||
using the word "pourve" in the second line was the acronym
|
||
"PORV", which stands for Pressure-Operated Relief Valve".
|
||
|
||
5. In the next paragraph, second line, Mr. Rice gets the National
|
||
Rifle Association involved in this conspiracy... either that, or he
|
||
meant to put "NRC" in there instead of "NRA"... but if he knew
|
||
that the NRC was the responsible agency, how does the Atomic
|
||
Energy Commission fit into Mr. Rice's story?
|
||
|
||
The balance of Mr. Rice's article could be based on as little
|
||
information was displayed in the first few pages, and less, since
|
||
he wisely points out on page 7, para. 3 that he'd "...like to detail
|
||
an event which could occur at the San Onofre power plant which
|
||
would by no means be typical." I enjoy fiction, Mr. Rice, but I
|
||
prefer it when it's based on reliable facts.
|
||
|
||
A man who works around the corner from me as a supervisor in
|
||
the Performance Evaluation Branch of NRR was nice enough to
|
||
take the time to review Mr. Rice's article and comment on it for
|
||
me. He said that it was like someone who puts together a human
|
||
being with the head coming off the hip... the parts may be
|
||
working right, but they're not put together in a form that makes
|
||
sense. Mr. Rice demonstrates the old axiom, "You can't believe
|
||
everything you read" quite aptly.

||
|
||
Many of our users have expressed concern regarding use of the
|
||
ARC trademark and copyrights. To better meet their needs we
|
||
have formulated this Statement of Policy, effective as of
|
||
September 13, 1988. This policy applies to anyone who does not
|
||
already have an agreement with us.
|
||
|
||
|
||
In the interest of serving the needs of the bulletin board
|
||
community and supporting the shareware concept, we pledge to:
|
||
|
||
o Maintain the ARC file format as a stable industry standard.
|
||
|
||
o Continue to upgrade ARC for speed and efficiency.
|
||
|
||
o Continue to distribute ARC as a shareware product, and
|
||
continue to allow for its free non-commercial use.
|
||
|
||
Futhermore, we pledge to foster the ingenuity and creativity of
|
||
our fellow shareware authors, whom we are happy to support in
|
||
virtually every manner.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ARC
|
||
|
||
To protect the rights of our shareware licensees, ARC may be
|
||
freely copied and distributed subject to the following
|
||
conditions:
|
||
|
||
1) No fee may be charged for such copying and distribution.
|
||
|
||
2) ARC may only be distributed in its original, unmodified
|
||
state.
|
||
|
||
3) ARC may not be distributed, in whole or in part, as part of
|
||
any commercial product or service without the express
|
||
written permission of SEA.
|
||
|
||
4) ARC may be made available for download by pay bulletin boards
|
||
and similar commercial services provided that no additional
|
||
fee is charged specifically for downloading ARC.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ARC TRADEMARK
|
||
|
||
Use of the ARC trademark may be licensed subject to the
|
||
following terms:
|
||
|
||
1) Any use of the ARC trademark means that the product is
|
||
SHAREWARE. We need a fully functional copy of the latest
|
||
version with documentation to make available on our BBS for
|
||
FidoNews 5-38 Page 7 19 Sep 1988
|
||
|
||
|
||
general download.
|
||
|
||
2) Your product must be compatible with the current version of
|
||
ARC from SEA, and must be of an acceptable level of quality
|
||
and workmanship.
|
||
|
||
3) We must have your name and address so that we can keep you
|
||
informed on any changes to ARC.
|
||
|
||
4) As the legal owner of the ARC trademark, we are bound by US
|
||
trademark laws to protect and maintain the integrity of ARC
|
||
in any program that uses the ARC trademark . To comply with
|
||
this, we must ask for fully commented source code. We will
|
||
keep your source code completely confidential if you so
|
||
desire, and we will not make use of any of your source code
|
||
in any of our products.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ARC SOURCE CODE
|
||
|
||
The ARC program sources have always been available for
|
||
informational purposes. They may be used freely in the creation
|
||
of shareware utilities that examine the contents of an ARC format
|
||
archive. Any other use of the ARC source code is subject to the
|
||
following terms and conditions:
|
||
|
||
1) Your product must be SHAREWARE. We need a fully functional
|
||
copy of the latest version with documentation to make
|
||
available on our BBS for general download.
|
||
|
||
2) The first $100,000 worth of revenues is yours to keep. We
|
||
want 6.5% of any revenue above that in return for the use
|
||
of our code.
|
||
|
||
3) For the protection of our users, your product may not produce
|
||
ARC format archives which are incompatiable with our current
|
||
version of ARC.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ARC FILE FORMAT
|
||
|
||
1) We hereby grant to the entire world and all sentient
|
||
creatures in the universe who do not already have an
|
||
agreement with us to the contrary a perpetutal, unlimited,
|
||
galaxy wide license to read, extract, create, or otherwise
|
||
manipulate ARC format archives. This does not include any
|
||
license to use our sources or trademarks.
|
||
|
||
2) If you make any changes to the format such that your file is
|
||
not compatible with the current version of ARC, then the
|
||
result may not be referred to as an ARC format Archive.
|
||
|
||
|
||
We feel that this Policy Statement is a fair and workable answer
|
||
FidoNews 5-38 Page 8 19 Sep 1988
|
||
|
||
|
||
to all concerned with ARC format archives, developers and users
|
||
alike. If any developer is unable to comply with these terms,
|
||
please contact us at (201) 473-5153 to discuss alternative
|
||
arrangements.

Yet Another Complicated Komment
|
||
by Steven K. Hoskin
|
||
( STEVE HOSKIN at 1:128/31 )
|
||
|
||
Episode 10: BBS Utilities
|
||
|
||
Let's face it -- there just isn't any easy way to go about
|
||
setting up a customized bulletin board. You've GOT to have
|
||
utilities.
|
||
|
||
So, you say, what brought about THIS amazing revelation? Well, I
|
||
like to program, and lately that passion has carried into Turbo
|
||
C. And, as a SysOp, I finally am in a position where some neat
|
||
little utilities would come in handy. I've needed some utilities
|
||
for my job, and, when needed, I write them. But these were for
|
||
ME. Well; me and Opus.
|
||
|
||
First came the need to reset those darned NON-OPTIONAL colors
|
||
that Opus sets up for you, assumedly through ANSI.SYS, which,
|
||
after leaving Opus, are still the default colors. Light blue
|
||
characters on a black background. Way to go guys, I can hardly
|
||
see it with my cheap CGA card and monochrome monitor. So is born
|
||
SC, the screen color setter (which uses ANSI.SYS instead of some
|
||
easier routes available).
|
||
|
||
Now I can see the screen but can't see those nasty d'Bridge virus
|
||
files in my Opus outbound directory; FS, the File Search utility
|
||
can list those system and hidden boogers, redirecting output to a
|
||
file to be applied to such commands as MARK (remove file
|
||
attributes) and DEL (need I say more?).
|
||
|
||
Oh, yes, we've gotten rid of those files, but what about that
|
||
"painfully" verbose Opus.Log file? CYCLE OPUS.LOG OLYYMMDD.LOG
|
||
and -- I now have a dated filename on the log cycling -- which
|
||
is, incidentally, archived and subsequently deleted.
|
||
|
||
Once a day that log cycle gets deleted, but I have a hardware
|
||
quirk in my system that forces me to reboot right at midnight;
|
||
WAITUNTL 23:59:59 during my before-midnight event followed by
|
||
REBOOT. And to insure that other events that take almost no time
|
||
at all won't be repeated? DELAY 60 insures a 60 second event.
|
||
|
||
Okay, what about posting FidoNews? Well, all we have to
|
||
do here is CYCFNEWS E:\FILE\FIDONEWS -C10 -R and now there are
|
||
only the latest 10 cycles of FidoNews in the FidoNews file area,
|
||
and only the latest one is unarchived, and in my case the -R will
|
||
retain dated entries in the FILES.BBS for any FidoNews archives
|
||
that have been removed from the directory. Any FILES.BBS entries
|
||
not pertaining to FidoNews are left alone. Who needs utilities?
|
||

Thanks to Greater Cincinnati Sysop Association
|
||
|
||
As outgoing President of IFNA I wish to express both my personal
|
||
thanks and the appreciation of the corporation to all those who
|
||
participated in the Greater Cincinnati Sysop Association's
|
||
FidoCon '88 Organizing Committee.
|
||
|
||
It was very apparent that they put a great deal of effort into
|
||
the many preparations for FidoCon. During the year, I was very
|
||
impressed with the professional and enthusiastic approach that
|
||
they put into their work and it paid off with a conference that
|
||
evryone I spoke to agreed was a productive success.
|
||
|
||
Thank you:
|
||
|
||
Tim Sullivan Rick Ashworth
|
||
Jesse Armentrout Steve Sullivan
|
||
Mark Walker Decker Doggett
|
||
Greg Hanfbauer Bill Smith
|
||
Pete Tyjewski and anyone I may have missed!
