No for 3 three reasons: 1) I *HATE* Windows. 2) Windows would overly complicate it, and it would slow our speed. Also, it looks like we are doing a comm project, so it would also cause problems there 3) Not everyone who wants in might have Windows... (I don't. Voluntarily. Others have no choice.)

After hearing from both you and Lou on the subject, why don't we just do a completely integrated BBS package with a mailer, tosser, message editor, qwk mail door, and xyz protocols? We could incorporate all those database mods and indexes for the people who wanted them, and graphix for those people who wanted them. We could start with Ed Parry's EBBS v1.54 (public domain BBS written in PowerBASIC) and work from there. This would be just a =little= project that the whole echo can enjoy. :) -=> Lawrence <=- --- FMail/386 1.0g * Origin: Toast House Remote (1:100/560.1) --------------- ** A related thread FOLLOWS this message.

The trouble with add on libs is you have to make sure you carry those around with you as well. I kinda like just having to carry pb.exe and the .hlp file only when going to a new machine. More irritating than the com support is no svga support, or even decent vga support. Yes it is available thru libs, but once again it is something else you have to remember... CA> BTW, Nice CDROM software, and I'm sorry I can't call in anymore... (Ho CA> many CDs do you have? 70?) something like that. still only 6 online at a time though. i am always looking for the inexpensive 100 cd changer. if it only had 1 cd-rom drive that would be fine, but needs to hold at least 100 cd's, of which i could easily fill. i like going to those computer shows at the fairgrounds and community center, if i find shareware cd's around $10 that i don't have usually get them. did you move btw?
