Thanks for the idea. since I was not the orginal programmer of KTerm, I
|
|
had opted to leave as much code the same as possible and only change
|
|
that part of the code that needed to be changed for enhancements and/or
|
|
bug fixs. Your idea does sound a lot better and the envioroment varible
|
|
MODEM is a better way to go. That is a very easy change.
|
|
As for KTerm -?, I already open a window at startup, that in the
|
|
finial version will have the name, version, copyright, & ect on it.
|
|
I'll keep it in mine and see what other's think about that.

JA> Paul,
|
|
JA> The correct way is to add a enviroment varible in your startup file.
|
|
JA> Just add TERMINAL_PORT /t3
|
|
|
|
John,
|
|
Is TERMINAL_PORT /t3 different than MODEM /t3 ??
|
|
I have the latter one in my file.

JD> As for KTerm -?
|
|
|
|
OK, let me present you with this situation. Ever go through your commands
|
|
directory, and wonder what a particular program was? Type in the file
|
|
name, followed by a -? and you can find out easily and painlessly.
|
|
|
|
Other thing is, when KTerm exits, try doing a Select(stdout), rather than
|
|
exiting as it does now. That will return you to the window that you
|
|
started from, rather than the last window.
|
|
|
|
Last thing is imagine this: Somebody who isn't running K-Windows runs
|
|
KTerm with the -? option. First thing KTerm does is try to open up a
|
|
window that can't be opened. Then it prints out the info detailing what
|
|
the program is to a window that doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
Adding the -? is really trivial:
|
|
|
|
if(!strncmp("-?", argv[1], 2))
|
|
{
|
|
fprintf(stderr, "KTerm v1.0 (Beta)";
|
|
etc...
|
|
exit(0);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Stick that in right at the beginning of the code, and you're all set, and
|
|
conform with the vast majority of OSK programs, which do respond to -?.
|
|
|
|
TTFN. Colin.

You will notice the To field has my name as Warren.hrach. This seems
|
|
the only drawback but since I seldem get netmail not a problem since I
|
|
use Getmsgs and just search the output for 'Warren' anyway. The routing
|
|
is confusing but I do know the 202/723 is our local UUCP Usenet link.
|
|
The actual msg came routed to my hub 202/335 and arrived at 3:40AM.
|
|
Please note that reading normal mail on a RiBBS BBS one does not see the
|
|
lines starting with a ^.
|
|
The only hassle I have had on this end sending back is that I have to
|
|
reroute the outgoing Internet to 202/701 or maybe my hub 202/335. I have
|
|
tried sending to 202/723 but his system wont recognize my BBS as a valid
|
|
Fido BBS but maybe I can find out what is wrong there. You will note
|
|
the time it took to reach me (09:32 your time to 03:40 my time, 6 hrs
|
|
-2hrs time diff. = 4 hrs) is remarkabley fast.
|
|
I shall respond back in my Net msg base also to see if you get the reply
|
|
correctly.

Yes, they are different, but I am going to change the enviroment varible
|
|
to MODEM instead of TERMINAL_PORT.
