  • Re: grappling with files

    From Alan Beck@1:229/426.36 to August Abolins on Thu May 2 19:05:12 2024
    //Hello August,//

    One would think. However I still don't know how to get the files in "ALLFIX_FILE.

    The ones in the text of the messages in ALLFIX_FILE are bothering me.

    I get how I can get the one's on my Boss Node, I still

    Don't have one, ;but I am set up to get a few areas.

    So my question to you is how do I get the files that are listed in ALLFIX_FILE? They are from BBSes.

    If you could that the time to lay that out for me, I would apprectate it.

    Bought a new radio today, a Yaesu fat-818 new. 6 watts ;ou t.

    I am going to check out openxp for file handling.

    Hello Alan Beck!

    ? What % stuff?

    Those are the commands to ALLFIX. such as%LIST.

    [...]

    I am sure it has to be easy because so many people are doing it.

    I read that you "figured it out". So.. you're all set now?

    Hello Alan!

    One would think. However I still don't know how to get the
    files in "ALLFIX_FILE.

    In the older version that I used, Winpoint had a problem
    reading the allfix list of files.

    I thought I had summarized that issue here:

    http://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/ Point%20software%20comparisons%20pros%20and%20cons.htm

    ..but I guess not.

    Basically, you have to tell Winpoint on which column to start
    looking for the filename and which column where the description
    begins.
