Scott, as we found out, either you or myself knocked your access
level to '1'... I'll bet it was due to my experimentation with the
gameroom, but I could not find anything in the SysOp logs to verify
that claim. Oh well.

I documented a few bug fixes for the current 08.01.94 version of
the BBS, so problems such as the editor going into a 4 column mode
after uploading SOFTMAIL are fixed.

In addition to fixing a few bugs, I added a quick&dirty routine to
check for new files since a users last call. Only the download
areas the user has access to are checked.  I may try to fit in a
routine to let the users type in the search date, then I can make
the routine available in the file transfer menu for searches.
Unfortunately, there are only 650 bytes of program space free when
I BREAK it at the menu.

Later, Tim

Hello Scott, Just letting you know that although I dont have a
whole lot to say at times, I do read the echo regularly.... I
appreciate your messages and your efforts to keep the echo traffic
moving....

Re: Re: echo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MB> is there a point? These messages are getting a tad repetitive.

It's not that. I keep crossing my fingers that whoever is not
sending out
the TI-ECHO mail from His/Her system will do something about it.
If you
saw a message or two on this topic when i was getting TI ECHO from
a long
distance BBS I was seeing perhaps 4-5 messages a day and it was
RARE that
any the mail was low as it is.   As is over here now it is almost
unbelievable to get more than 3 messages in 7 days!!!

The TI-ECHO mail comes into the Net 154 area via Satelite and the
BBS I get
my mail from gets TI-ECHO fromt he Satelite so I am real close
here........

Just stimulating messages on MY end will NOT solve the problem on
another
BBS's setup or decission not to forward TI-ECHO mail!!

Beery Miller had offered to patch me in but unfortunately out
14,400 modems
don't talk to each other without me doing some some special setups
on my end
just to connect at 2400 baud.  If I try and call His BBS at 4800
with the
Color Ansi enabled in My config on his BBS the modems croak again
with a
carrier loss.

As I said I am having doubts about keeping this echo because of Net
154
not getting the mail everyone else seems to be getting.

As is, I can write TI messages over here once a day and that would
be more
mail than I see coming into the net 154.

If the msg bugs ya move along home chap 5 (DSN if that's how it's
said?)

 FH>         Could you explain what you mean by "Deflated files"?

The newest version of PkZip for the PC is 2.04g, and the method of
compressing has changed from the old 1.1 PkZip method of Imploding
to Deflating.  The compression ratios are higher; this is
accomplished by a different technique of compression.  The drawback
is that this also means that more memory is required to decompress
the files.  All said and done, the tables created when
decompressing a .ZIP file with the newer compression take up over
64K of memory by themselves.  This doesn't include the actual
program itself.

 FH>         I'm using a Geneve so I don't think I would have a
memory
 FH> problem.  I wonder if anyone has done anything about writing a
 FH> DEZIPper that handles all the newer compression schemes?

The problem here is that Ben does not have a Geneve.
