I have written one script for QMPro 1.53 that will automatically collect my mail from one BBS that I call, but I don't see it as being a generic script -- it looks for certain prompts from the BBS.

CTTY has *NO* advantage over DOORWAY other than being free. DOORWAY allows you to drive almost all fullscreen text-mode programs, whether they write to the screen via DOS calls, BIOS calls or direct access to the video buffer. CTTY, on the other hand, can send you ONLY output that is written to the screen by the relatively slow DOS calls, which most of the DOS command processors use but which most more advanced apps such as any text editor better than EDLIN do not. Doorway's modest registration fee does away with that 10 minute limit; I allow myself 32767 minutes and haven't come anywhere CLOSE to that yet :) . It was the 2nd piece of shareware I ever registered (right behind Qmodem back when John Friel owned it) and it's been worth every penny many times over. A few years back, I ran a BBS 100% remotely on a system located 4 towns away. My partner in that venture, who owned and housed the hardware, did the hardware maintenance and backups while I did the SysOpping and all the software maintenance. I even upgraded the BBS software to new versions a few times "on the fly" via Doorway ... try your luck at THAT with CTTY!

Posting a message in this echo will be understood by the Moderator to be a declaration of your intent to abide by these and any other rules that may, of necessity, be formulated. Repeated, willful and/or flagrant violations of the rules of QMODEM_USERS will result in a request to the offender's echomail supplier to cut their access to this echo. 1. The topics of this conference should be related to Qmodem and/or and utilities related to Qmodem, including but not limited to external protocols usable with Qmodem. Any messages not on-topic will be considered annoying. 2. Challenge the ISSUE, not the message poster. Foul language belongs on the street, not here. Foul or harsh language will not be tolerated. If you don't like what someone has to say for personal reasons, send them a reply using netmail - not echomail. 3. Use of handles and or aliases is not allowed. Those people who are ogged on to bbs's using an alias should post their real names prominently in he body of each message they post. 4. Discussion of software piracy, including ways to 'register' unregistered shareware will not be tolerated. 5. Advertising for commercial ventures, even though Shareware related, will not be tolerated. Use either a local conference which permits such material, or use Fidonet Matrix mail, where only you pay for it. NOTE: An author's announcement of a Shareware program will not be considered a commercial advertisement. 6. There will be no usage of any high ASCII characters, BBS colour control codes, or PGP 'signatures'. Standard signatures are requested to be only one line, but may NOT exceed two lines at the most. 7. There shall be no bashing of hardware, hardware manufacturers, software programs, software authors or any other individuals. If you have a roblem with a program, company or piece of equipment and want to discuss it in n effort to get some help, fine, but let's not tear something down unless you can offer constructive suggestions for building it back up. 8. This conference MAY NOT be gated to the BIX echomail system, GroupMail or to any other network's echomail system WITHOUT permission of the Moderator. This is not to say it cannot be done, however the moderator must know where the echomail is going, and who the gateways are. essages in this conference should conform with the FTSC (FidoNet Technical Standards Committee) format and must contain a tear and origin line. The tear line may not be longer than 35 characters including the "-" chars. The origin line must fit on one 80 character wide CRT including the " # Origin: " text. Eight-bit ASCII is not allowed in this conference. All characters in displayed message data (text/header) must be in the range 32 to 126, which rules out control characters. The exception to this rule is if you need to show someone a translation table that contains ight-bit ASCII. 9. Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. Please keep the amount f quoted text down to the bare essentials. Do not quote SEEN-BY and/or " # Origin: " information unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. One of the biggest costs with distributed mail conferences is the use and MISuse of the quote feature. Please keep "Thank you" and/or "This is a test" messages in NETMAIL, where they belong. People are paying plenty of oney to ship this conference around and if we can keep unnecessary overhead down, we'll all be happier. 10. There is only one Moderator, me! If you feel someone has broken the ules please NETMAIL the Moderator and don't take it upon yourself to admonish anyone. Let the Moderator moderate! Leave the moderating to ME. If you want to moderate, become a moderator first. 11 Messages from the Moderator concerning enforcement of the rules are not considered off-topic, however, neither are they topics for general discussion by anyone other than the Moderator and the person being addressed. i.e., if the Moderator deems it necessary to write a person in the echo who is in violation of the rules, it is not a sign that the topic is a free for all and everyone can jump in. Discussion should remain between the Moderator and the person being addressed only! (Just a further clarification of "Let the Moderator Moderate!) I work on a "three strikes you're out" basis. * First a public warning. * Second a netmail warning. * Third time and you are asked to leave the conference. If you do not comply with a request to leave the conference, or if a sysop does not comply with the moderator's request to disallow a user from access to the conference, distribution of the echo can and will be cut to that node. Excommunication from the echo shall be for a minimum of 15 days cooling off period for first offense, 30-60 days minimum for a second offense (Moderator's option) and permanently should you be cut a third time. The SysOp of each board carrying this echo is granted the right to Edit or Kill messages which, in their opinion, are inappropriate and unacceptable n their system. Exception to this rule is the killing or editing of any messages received prior to feeding them to linked systems. This is NOT permitted. Please use common sense when interpreting this rule and, if in doubt, netmail queries will be promptly answered. However should you do o, I'd appreciate netmail explaining which message and why you felt it should be killed on your system. That's it, except that if someone comes up with a new and improved way to aggravate people, I reserve the right to make a rule to fit the occasion.
