I don't have to many KBBS files on line right now, But I do have a fido address & Inet email address for you, This person wrote a program for KBBS to use with running internet e-mail & newsgroups. As a matter of fact, I'am receiving my newsgroups from him & will be doing e-mail soon as well. If anyone can get you up & running fast, it would be him. His name is Hal Holland, and his fido # is 1:133/3023 or e-mail at Hal.Holland@hdh.com. Be sure to ask him about KUUCP as this is the program, And he has lots more as well.

I didn't explain it properly, for sure. :) What I had in mind was more in this line: Support so local users(sysop usually) could use their key to generate messages without having to set up an external reader. They could also use their key to generate messages while calling from remote. I don't see anything wrong with builtin support for public keyring usage either.

Bert, you caught me on vacation and away from my BBS. Also, I probably should not have included Word Warp in my list of CPU hogs, as it _is_ OS/2 aware and detects it properly; but slows the system down nonetheless. OSTSR is a program that converts timeslices from DV-aware programs to OS/2 timeslices. I have a copy here freq'able but I cannot remember the exact filename and did not give it a magic name.

If so: [Download]@!E:\FILE\PUBLIC\subscrib.zip [Key_Poke]| [Menu_Cmd File_Download] The only caveat with this method is that the caller must have a default protocol selected or it won't work. You could add something like: [Key_Poke]z [Menu_Cmd Chg_Protocol] before the [Download] token to force Zmodem, though. --From Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY, Sat, 08-31-96-- --Internet: joe.negron@consultant.com-- --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: The Programmer's Mark * Brooklyn, NY, USA: 718-921-9267 1:278/216) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 251 OS2 BBS Ref: DD100001 Date: 08/31/96 From: BILL BROWN Time: 05:56pm \/To: RON MITCHELL (Read 3 times) Subj: The Perfect OS/2 BBS Hello Ron, Thursday August 29 1996 18:36, Ron Mitchell wrote to Bill Brown: RM> I don't see anything wrong with builtin support for public keyring RM> usage either.
