MK>hello all! i just got the new version of 2qwk! and it seems to have
MK>problems reading the packets generated by MAXIMUS BBS systems. some
one else
MK>said something about this... is there a fix??? i keep getting line
length
MK>errors when it tries tat file.
When you get the menu, does the info in the box on the rigth side of the

screen make sense verses the pthe description to the left of the text
displayed?
Could you post the fist 10 lines of the CONTROL.DAT file so that Tom
Larson
(the author) and me (a major hacker) see what you are being sent.  I had
a
problem with the Maximus using v0.98c but not with v1.09b.
MK>also, someone said something about 2qwk!  now being able to ZIP up
it's
MK>own replies, is this true? or do we still have to struggle with
ANGEL?
v1.09b will >store< the replies in the REP file when you quit.  V1.09b
will
not compress the reply file though.  This may be what is confusing to
you.
Since the size of most reply files will be small, not having it
compressed
will not make much of fference.
MK>BTW- i did use namefix, and i have the whole thing runnin
names a.. the only
MK>thing i can think of would be the update program (the one that makes
it
MK>load faster). i got all of these files (namefix, 2qwk!, and them the
Cider City BBS...
The 'upd just like the un-modified v1.09b code, only faster with
status information displayed during the processing of the CONTROL.DAT
file so
that the knows that it the program is really doing something.
I am the person that created the 'update' and I run Cider City :)
Also take a lokk at the other message I posted (in this packet of
replies)
reguarding the proglems that I had w/ a local Maximus BBS and v0.98c.
