    Hawkeye,

    YEAH! Thanks for the reply.... retro feelings coming back... communicating fr H>The Netherlands to Arkansas via BBS... wow...

    I do my QWK Mail FIRST -- then it's to playing the doorgames, updating
    file areas, checking user accounts, etc. After all, Sysops have to have
    some fun, too. <G>

    A Sysop's work is never done...you're always making changes to it.
    That's why the BBS is "The Sysop's Baby".

    Ewwww...I think I need to change something. <G>

    Maybe you have some tips for me for promoting the BBS to get new users?

    Most just do it with an autopost in various networks BBS Ads or BBS
    Promotion echoes. However, compared to numerous other systems, I just
    post my ad once a week. I want people to logon because they WANT
    to...and NOT because they HAVE to.

    Plus, some networks say "no more than 2 postings per week", but many
    systems ignore that...posting several times a week, and at least twice a
    day. To me, that's overkill.

    In one of the ham radio applications I use (D-Rats), when people "ping
    my station", they see something like "See my QRZ bio: Visit My Ham
    Radio/Wx BBS at wx1der.dyndns.org" -- and I have picked up a few users
    that way.

    I also designed and printed up a business card for mine with the
    Business Card Software from CAM Development.

    Today I got my first (!) new user.

    But I can't get the ASC (for eg logon.asc) editted via ANSI/ASC editors on my Windows 10 64 bit... I would like to change the Synchro BBS ASC in logon.asc replace by MASH logo... till now no luck. Shows me the ascii codes. Need to read more to understand how to do.

    You have to select the "Ctrl-A" file type when you open the file. By default, it treats .asc files as just straight ASCII.

    There is one area QWK still falls down, and that is netmail. While there are workarounds, they are either limited (to: address length) or cumbersome. Bluewave's native netmail support is much nicer.

    Yeah, some of the echoes can be pretty amusing. I try to stay away
    from the controversial ones, though.

    Today I got my first (!) new user.

    Good deal.

    But I can't get the ASC (for eg logon.asc) editted via ANSI/ASC editors on my H>Windows 10 64 bit... I would like to change the Synchro BBS ASC in logon.asc H>replace by MASH logo... till now no luck. Shows me the ascii codes. Need to H>read more to understand how to do.

    Create the ANSI file first, then change to c:\sbbs\exec and run:

    ANS2ASC infile.ans [outfile.asc] [option]

    -clear insert a clear screen code at the beginning of the output file
    -pause append a pause (hit a key) code to the end of the output file
    -delay <interval> insert a 1/10 second delay code at output byte
    interval (lower interval values result in more delays, slower display).

    I have a bulletin on my BBS called "The Local Weather Brief", giving a
    quick overview of weather watches, warnings, advisories, and hazards,
    for Arkansas. The idea was originally from a door for TriBBS software.

    Anyway, I set up the ascii version of the file first, then added the escape/ansi color codes -- the left arrow, then [1;37;40m -- to each
    line.

    Then, when I manually update the weather data on the BBS, I have:

    CD\SBBS\TEXT
    C:\SBBS\EXEC\ANS2ASC LCLWXBRF.ANS LCLWXBRF.ASC
    COPY LCLWXBRF.ASC LCLWXBRF.MSG
    DEL LCLWXBRF.ASC

    And, the bulletin on my "Bullseye Bulletins Menu" is done...along with
    the rest of the weather information, in the EZLogon Bulletins menu.

    Now, I'm not good with ANSI, and I know that the values per line can
    be line from 80 to 255 characters...but I'm not sure how ANS2ASC handles
    that.

    My BBS is weather and ham radio oriented, but it has other stuff as
    well.

    BBS and upload/download mail, and Bluewave as the reader. :)

    Wasn't Bluewave already there in the 90s? I remember that name...

    Well and truly, and I prefer Bluewave to QWK, it's a superior format.

    I love Bluewave! :-)

    I don't know much about the Bluewave format, but the QWK format was sufficient open and extensible that I've (over the years) addressed all its shortcomings in a backwards compatible way (including the QWKE extensions). So, even with its warts, I'm a fan of QWK.

    Bluewave format allow longer subjects.

    But so does QWKE. In fact, all the limitations (that matter) in QWK have been addresed in QWKE and the Synchronet QWK enhancements.

    A Sysop's work is never done...you're always making changes to it.
    That's why the BBS is "The Sysop's Baby".

    Such true words are seldom more relevant.
