Well, we made it through the election. But that's only half of
|
||
the story. We had so much fun that we're going to do it again.
|
||
Before I go on, I'll present the votes by region:
|
||
|
||
Davis Nissan Lachan Walker Roberts
|
||

19 35 - 3 4 2
|
||
|
||
total 72 49 34 33 6
|
||
|
||
I extend my sincere Thanks to all five candidates for your
|
||
continuing efforts on all our behalf.
|
||
|
||
According to the parameters of the election, no one candidate
|
||
received more than 50% of votes cast. As a result, Tony Davis and
|
||
Amnon Nissan, the two candidates who received the most votes,
|
||
will slug it out in a runoff election. Eligibility and vote
|
||
collection rules for the runoff remain nearly the same as for the
|
||
first election.
|
||
|
||
A maximum of two votes -- NC and NEC -- will be accepted from
|
||
each Zone 1 network. If the NC and NEC of any net are the same
|
||
person only one vote will be accepted for that net. Votes will be
|
||
accepted and tallied by the same good folks as in the first
|
||
election.
|
||
|
||
The voting period will begin 7 days after this article appears in
|
||
FidoNews and will extend for 14 days. If this article appears in
|
||
the 4 March issue the voting period will commence on 11 March and
|
||
continue until 25 March. I hope the tallies will be forwarded to
|
||
me in time to be published in the first FidoNews issue following
|
||
my receipt of all votes from the 10 Zone 1 RECs.

by John Passaniti, Fidonet 1:260/201
|
||
|
||
Two years ago, I started the echo conference ICGAL (Issues
|
||
Concerning Gays And Lesbians) by submitting an article to
|
||
Fidonews. ICGAL was intended to be the Fidonet equivalent of the
|
||
Usenet soc.motss newsgroup, and has largely succeeded.
|
||
|
||
ICGAL started with only a handful of systems across the United
|
||
States which I polled. Response was too large for my system to
|
||
handle, so I put the conference on the Fidonet backbone. Since
|
||
then, ICGAL has grown larger than I ever expected, reaching into
|
||
Fidonet zones two and three.
|
||
|
||
ICGAL (which is now moderated by Robert Bayron) has served many
|
||
purposes during the two years it has existed. One great benefit
|
||
(for me at least) was finding other gay and lesbian couples. My
|
||
husband and I had been together for two years at that point, and
|
||
the various advice and insight given by others really helped us
|
||
along (and I'm sure others too). With that in mind, I'm starting
|
||
a new echo conference.
|
||
|
||
COTSS is a new echo conference that has a specific function in
|
||
mind. COTSS (Couples Of The Same Sex) is for committed gay and
|
||
lesbian couples to talk about their relationships, with the
|
||
problems and solutions they have discovered.
|
||
|
||
My intention is to have the conference cover a range of issues,
|
||
from emotional to financial to political to social. For example,
|
||
I'd like to see a discussion on how "domestic partnership" laws
|
||
will change gay and lesbian relationships. I'd like to see how
|
||
wills, joint finances, and various other money issues should be
|
||
handled. I'd want to hear about problems homosexual couples who
|
||
are also parents face.
|
||
|
||
COTSS is open to anyone (regardless of sexuality or relationship
|
||
status), but it is intended for committed gay and lesbian couples.
|
||
It isn't a "dating" conference (there are other conferences in
|
||
and out of Fidonet to fill that need).
|
||
|
||
COTSS will initially be available through 1:260/228, where
|
||
interested parties should send netmail. Like ICGAL, I expect
|
||
COTSS to grow, and eventually, if there is enough demand, I'll
|
||
place it on the backbone.
|
||
|
||
Thanks,
|
||
John Passaniti, 1:260/201

YAPPPIII (Yet another packet proposal - part 3)
|
||
|
||
Last week, I introduced the 32 bit type-4 flags meanings. Here
|
||
is the rest of the proposed packet header, and how it relates
|
||
to the type-2 packet currently in standard use, and the type-3
|
||
which was proposed in FSC-0007.TXT.
|
||
|
||
The FIRST sixteen bits of every packet or segregated message is
|
||
the header id. Only the first 8 bits are actually used. This
|
||
allows superficial compatibility with the FTS-0001, type-2 and
|
||
FSC-0007, type-3 packets. This is the limit of exact compat-
|
||
ibility, however. This may be treated in ANY of the following
|
||
manners:
|
||
C Pascal Modula-2
|
||
ID byte unsigned char byte SHORTCARD
|
||
plus waste unsigned char byte SHORTCARD
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
ID word int integer INTEGER
|
||
or
|
||
ID word unsigned int word CARDINAL
|
||
|
||
with equal facility, as the second 8-bits are predefined as
|
||
a zero, as in current type-2 use (note intel format LL HH)
|
||
|
||
The primary difference between the type-4 and type-5 is the
|
||
"Ultimate address" versus the "Echo information" covering
|
||
the packet.

|

The "Extra Header Type" in each case, aligns with the Message-
|
||
Type in an FTS-0001 .MSG format. This allows for simplified
|
||
processing, as a processing program dealing exclusively with
|
||
packets will use the leading packet-type byte or word value to
|
||
identify the packet, and the processing program dealing exclus-
|
||
ively with unpacked messages may jump directly to the MESSAGE
|
||
type identifier.
|
||
|
||
All addresses are arranged with bytes in sequential order from
|
||
least to most significant, for numeric longword or reverse byte
|
||
by byte comparison, and the Origin and immediate destination
|
||
addresses are ALSO aligned between the type 4 & 5 headers.
|
||
|
||
Message timestamping is maintained in Microsoft format, as in
|
||
MS-DOS directory timestamping, with bit shift compression and
|
||
the 1980 base date offset for the year. The point-of-origin
|
||
timezone is also included. In our global FidoNet, with inter-
|
||
zone mailing and conferencing, the time-zone differential may
|
||
be used by BBS or other mail processing software to give a
|
||
display of both WHEN a message was written, and also how old it
|
||
is. Comparison to a specified time and date may be handled as
|
||
a flag numeric compare in Intel longword format. When the
|
||
message is tossed, the LOCAL receipt time may be placed to re-
|
||
use a portion of the interim routing address fields to allow
|
||
accurate purging by display duration instead of merely by "how
|
||
old is it?" In any case, the ZONE of the Interxxxx address
|
||
should be zeroed when a message is tossed.
|
||
FidoNews 8-09 Page 21 4 Mar 1991
|
||
|
||
|
||
When the Type-4 or Type-5 header is used on a message, the link
|
||
fields, forward and backward are pointers to related messages.
|
||
In the message headers within a packet, they are relative offset
|
||
values. When used on a packet, however, they assume slightly
|
||
different meanings. The forward link is zeroed unless a packet
|
||
has been deliberately split into smaller packets for transmission
|
||
over noisy lines or unstable datalinks. More on this later. The
|
||
NORMAL Type-4 or Type-5 packet has the forward link as a zero.
|
||
The Backward link is a sequential "transaction" number which
|
||
is assigned by each sender from a counter with the immediate
|
||
receiver, allowing for easy detection of any missed trans-
|
||
missions.
|
||
|
||
Note that there are 12 bytes of contiguous expansion area in
|
||
each of the headers which do not fully overlap. This allows
|
||
for careful later implementation of any points which may have
|
||
been missed here.
|
||
|
||
More explanations next time.
