Hello, Warpslide!
Replying to a message of Warpslide to Sean Dennis:
Hey, it still works! If you ever want to post a test message to
FIDOTEST let me know first, I'll grab some popcorn and watch the show!
lol
You ain't kiddin'. Wilfred and Michiel would be on me like white on rice. I do have the full source code to ProBoard but since I a) don't know C and b) know that a MSGID kludge doesn't really mean much anymore, I am not going to bother trying to add that into PB.
The thought of me going into FIDOTEST and smacking the hornets' nest is entertaining ,.. yes, I do have a masochistic side. I am, after all, a BBS sysop.
I have run my BBS now for half of my life and I really don't care what the naysayers think. Like Mr. Sinatra sang, I'll do it my way.
Fun fact: there is a 16-bit OS/2 ProBoard executable hiding in that source code. So I know it can be done but the PB source code is an unmitigated Dumpster fire that needs an expert's touch.
Later,
Sean
