Yes, and your previous 2 messages too... But they all just arrived in the same packet.
And I see messages from you in other areas too, just now.

Thank you Sir! Yeah, I accidently had been sending dBridge's QUEUE files are .PKT's to my uplink (doing dynamic file renaming), however, the QUEUE folder are arcmail, where PACKETS folder was the PKT's... when I found my mistake this
morning, everything I had been writing for a week rescanned (by hand) and went out successfully. I feel human again! [coding my own BinkP mailer]

That's a serious effort, so why? There already are a number of good open source
alternatives. Maybe it's wiser to spend your time on one of them, if you think they are missing some features?

Well, the hard part is finished. I originally started writing my mailer 1/1/2017 - and wrote enough of BinkP to allow me to rejoin Fidonet. I was satisfied with what I had, but, June 6th, I met Fred Riccio - who woke me to the reality that my pascal script on my Linux server needed a lot of work to be
compatible with other mailers. 14 days of serious coding, recoding, we have successfully tested my script can do about 80% of the BinkP specifications without mistake. I leave the other 20% to things we have not thought of throwing at it. I had started interacting with the group on fidonet.online's telegram thread - and realized, take this from CONSOLE to GUI... so that is what I am doing. Plus, Rhenium will also be Open Source, and the prototype runs
from RaspberryPi up to OSX, Windows, Linux, 32bit, 64bit, and is evolving to support NNTP and Email.

So, as I ramble, I guess the answer goes back to what friends say about me, I do it because I can... ;-)

time to check openxp ? :)

maybe & maybe not will make a gentoo ebuild for it, but i think the pascal code
is nice

We have a limited number of developers in fidonet, with limited time. So I think it's more efficient if they spend their time on improving existing software, instead of creating completely new software that's just a variant of already existing software...

Tried. After fiddling around a few hours without success, I moved on - eventually finding dBridge 3.99 w/ my mailer - and for now - quite happy.

OpenXP and it's continued fork, are --- geared for someone who all the configuration settings are still fresh in the brain... hell, it took me an hour
to get FD and/or IM up and running. Too many terms and settings that were wiped
clean from my lil' brain... an old 60's MFM drive.

That is like saying Tesla's are just a variant of a car. :-P"'"'"'"'"

Rhenium Console - has the ability to look like ol' school stuff - see YouTube.com Ozz Nixon posts (2 or 3 in CONSOLE mode), However, Rhenium GUI, is what Hotline was for the Mac... and much more...

Plus, in spare time, I have been porting old Modem BBSes to TCP using my compiler http://tutorial.modernpascal.com/ ... self threading, and no UI as they are daemons or TServices. Mailer was just my next challenge in all this coding since 2000. Problem is time and now (recently) I have testers.

My issues of "fixing" other people's software are:
1. Most others are not as good at programming as I am (get that one out) ;-)
2. If we kept this approach we will all still be runnign CBBS or OPUS or FIDO 3. I like running my own code - so I can make things do what I want...
4. But, I still mainly to #1 ;-)

Yeah, I guess I used to think that way - when I had a job. I was laid off in 2010, lost my house, trophy girlfriend, and a lot of other things... ended up moving south (where pay is even less) and cannot find a 6 digit income - so I work with my parents and run a small family restaurant. It pays the bills, but,
not getting rich doing this - plus, I am not a people person - so this really works on my patience. ;-)
