There is one package, Amanda, written by David Douthitt to process Fidonet news packets for MSDOS Waffle v1.65. Amanda is on (old) SimTel. lt;http://www.mailbag.com/users/ssrat/> <http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/2884/> [old] There is another package, Erin, written also by David Douthitt, which will handle Fidonet mail packets for MSDOS Waffle v1.65. However, this package is not yet released.

Waffle rmail wants to see a From_ line as the <first> line in a mail message. The From_ line is structured when you finally receive the mail item. Only the "From user" portion is required. rmail constructs the remainder if it's not present. rmail uses this line as a marker, placing its own Received: header after it. If the From_ line is not first, rmail constructs a default set of headers, and appends all the supplied text as the message body.

Waffle is a USENET-compatible BBS system which supports UUCP mail, UUCP, and USENET news. In addition, there is a built-in editor, file upload/download, and the ability to hook in external programs and gateway to (or from) other packages. DOS Waffle supports (but does not require) external Fossil drivers to allow use of high speed modems and allows an MSDOS PC to be a fully RFC compliant USENET node. It also provides the UUCP-based transport mechanism that generally comes with unix systems.

Echoes is a mailing list devoted to Pink Floyd. It has been running since 14nov1991. It replaces a list called "Eclipse" that ran for several years previously. Originally intended as a temporary replacement, Echoes is now here for the duration. There are roughly 1000 members of Echoes, on 6 continents. (North Am, South Am, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia). If anyone on Antarctica is subscribed, please let us know. Echoes is available in two formats: realtime and digest.

The DOS version is shareware that is made available in binary form at many locations so you can 'try before you buy'. The UNIX version is available as source code only, and there is no provision to 'try before you buy'. However, the look and feel of the two versions are almost identical, so the DOS version serves as a 'try' version.

Waffle (DOS version) is available via anonymous ftp from (the old) SimTel and its various mirror sites as follows: There are other Coast/SimTel mirror sites. See the periodic postings in comp.archives.msdos.announce and news.answers for more details. halcyon mirrors (keeps a current copy of) the (old) simtel waffle files, the simtel offline-mail files, and the tau-ceti fx suite. it's your one-stop waffle ftp site.

My BBS is your personalized control center that allows you to control many aspects of THE FIRM Forums BBS. You may send a message to another Firm Forum user without it appearing on any of the posting Boards, providing the user has elected to accept private messages. The user will receive such messages within the BBS; the message is not sent via email. This lists each Firm Forum user who is currently online and whom you have added to your address book.

The BBS is a message board where customers can post messages to each other. Customers can discuss strategy or sports in general, and get to know their competitors. There is a BBS for each game and a Suggestions BBS where customers can provide feedback to us.

Read at your own risk. The current, previous, or original authors make no claim as to fitness for any purpose or absence of any errors, and offer no warranty. Do not eat. use of the first person ('I') in this document may be remnants of earlier authors' comments. please check this before assuming that the current maintainer wrote everything herein (I didn't). The intent of this document is to assemble, in one place, a general list of Waffle-related Frequently Asked Questions.

Don't be shy, there's a lot of expertise in c.b.w . That's what it's there for. However, be sure that you have looked through all the documentation before posting your question; you will not be appreciated if you ask a question that is clearly answered in the documentation (or in the FAQ, for that matter.)

Yes. [Updated answer: unless you have a cheque, probably not] [Further updated answer: sometimes -- work seems to have become much more reasonable] He's also reachable via e-mail at <dell@goonsquad.spies.com>. Be aware that Tom gets LOTS of mail, so replies usually take a while. [lately, ranging from eternity to a few hours(!)] In general, normal questions to comp.bbs.waffle will get quite a few responses in a very timely manner.

It's hard to say since there are sites that are unregistered, not in the UUCP maps, and/or are mail-only and do not exchange news. Occasionally, someone counted how many Waffle sites have posted to USENET in the past 2 weeks. Bill Fenner, and then Alan Brown: 921029 930116 930216 930416 940816 941126 1.61: 2 1 2 1 0 0 1.63: 9 8 9 5 0 0 1.64: 81 44 57 46 18 14 1.65: 266 266 280 286 240 274 1.

When in doubt poke around the Waffle directory on (old) SimTel or a mirror site for the list of stuff that's purely Waffle related. Also, keep your eyes open in the Waffle newsgroup for information related to utilities that might not have been uploaded to (old) Simtel. ftp ftp.halcyon.com, on the Internet, has a huge anonymous ftp section, in /pub/waffle, which was (but is no longer) mirrored by remote.halcyon.com for anonymous UUCP. There is an anonymous UUCP list posted frequently to c.b.

The different names are only for the user's personal signature. If you have a system default signature, /waffle/system/sig, it is applied to all messages.

waffle/docs/index.doc has the table of contents of each of the other documents. Use a text editor or something similar to look for keywords in index.doc, then it will point you to which file to look in. If you have a version of the UNIX utility 'grep', it's best to do something like 'grep keyword /waffle/docs/*', to find even obscure references to things.

Echoes is maintained by bear (bear@fawnya.meddle.org), he makes sure mail gets out, subscriptions are properly handled, the daily digests are sent out on time and much much more. However, the content of Echoes is the responsibility of all people who are subscribed to Echoes. Here is information on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, how to post, and how to get in touch with bear, the list administrator.

A BBS door is a software program that is specially written to be "added on" to a Bulletin Board System similairly to the way a webmaster would add additional functionality to a web site. Guests can then log onto the bulletin board with their modem or via the internet, and enter the door seamlessly. Most doors, including the John Dailey Software doors, however, can be ran completely without a BBS for personal enjoyment.

BestBuyByFar carries both WAFFLE and TERRY Weaves in facial skin care Cloths. The properties and benefits are almost identical in the two weaves except the Waffle Weave is just a little more intense in the microdermabrasion and exfoliation process and a little more costly to produce. For regular skin care (cleaning, exfoliation, preventing and clearing blemishes and blackhead, etc.) the Terry Weave will do fine. For more serious skin problems (acne, scars, wrinkles, dark spots, age spots, etc.

You need to manually edit /waffle/menus/editors to reflect the editors that are available on your system. Make sure to include a separate entry so that the user can select 'none' to get back to the internal editor.

My setup has ONE port out, to ONE TNC, that forwards to many BBSs. MOST of them go out on ONE RF port. In order to pace the traffic and better use the bandwidth, I place all those that must travel the same RF path into a subchannel together. Ones that travel ANOTHER RF path, go into another subchannel. Then the 'forward subchannel' command allows me to restrict HOW MANY of these will be active at one time (outgoing), and how many I will reverse forward to (incoming).

If you have a modem you can call +46 31 992301, which is the number for our BBS - "Grottan BBS". The first time you will be asked to answer a few questions, and you cannot do much more. When the SysOp, Göran Grottling, has accepted you as a new user, it becomes possible to download files and read mail. You will be able to freely get the latest rating list, including results from all individual matches between computers, both in the short and long version.

I wrote and ran a customized BBS between March 1994 and June 1996. Unfortunately, the market for the type of system I had pretty much vanished after people started selling SLIP/PPP connections for $ 9.95 a month. Because of that, and due to a hardware failure that made the system uneconomic to keep up, the system is now down. Shed a tear; it's been completely replaced by my Web provider. A spiritual successor to my BBS can be found in my web personals pages, at http://cgi.amazing.com/personals/.

gt; There are many methods for accessing this BBS. [1] Dialup - use your modem to dial the number 28713844 and connect. [2] Telnet - use your internet connection telnet to telnet://smarties.thebbs.org/. [3] Web Interface - use your web browser and logon to http://smarties.thebbs.org/bbs/. For the first two method, there are much detail description in http://smarties.thebbs.org/smarties/

In addition, you have to keep them secure - any BBS software that you install must be kept secure by you. If the server is put at risk because of insecure scripts on your site, we will suspend the account.

The BBS (Bulletin Board System, also known as the Gateway or the Electronic Gateway) allows users to transfer files from their computer to another computer (upload) or from another computer to their computer (download). Each batch file transmission sent to the eMedNY contractor should be completed within two hours as an F-file must be returned within two hours of the start of the transmission. Any transmission exceeding two hours will be disconnected. BBS is strictly a dial-up connection.

You have locked your FOSSIL, without telling Waffle about it. This is a no-no. Put 'locked: xxxx' in your static file, and Waffle will shut up about 'unsupported'. It actually doesn't matter what speed you use in the locked: parameter, if you have locked using the FOSSIL. For Waffle to not complain about this, echo must be in a consistent state - either always on, or always off. If you want it to be always off, put E0 in your default profile.

Waffle has a problem with Xmodem uploads into the internal editor. Xmodem pads the incoming file with ^Z (or 0x00, if the original file ended with a ^Z) to the next 128-byte boundary. This gives Waffle indigestion, and tends to make it lock up when a user uploads a message and tries to immediately save it. A workaround is available. XSTRIP wraps around your Xmodem receive protocol driver. It spawns the driver to receive the file, and then strips the Xmodem padding off the end.
