Msg 44759 is 07 line(s) on 05/12/91 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALLEN TURNER re: CBBS ACCOUNTS I have a 1000 user file accessed by a hashing algorithm, that scans 20 records after it lands on the hashed one. If the name isn't found, it overlays the oldest of the 20 it found. As it is now, you should stay around for about 4 months - for sure if you call monthly or every 2-3, CBBS should still remember the hi msg # of your last call. (such as to get this msg - ;-) Tnx. for the kind words. Msg 44760 is 09 line(s) on 05/12/91 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: REMINDER:FULL LINE EDIT Lots of people don't realize that CBBS has a full "line" editor. I can't see how I could get along without it - I type fast, and when I make a mistake I've often gone past it - with full line edit you can go back quite readily, even inserting a char, or deleting one, etc. Type FULL? for help. For some reason, FULL isn't in the help file, or the help file index is fubar. Basically, if you just put "full" as part of your logon script, you will be in wordstar full-line editing - and full? will show you what chars do what (e.g. ^S=back, ^D=right, ^F=word right, ^G=del char, etc.) Msg 44761 is 10 line(s) on 05/12/91 from THOMAS HOYT to WARD re: THANKS I recently read the article about this board in Boardwatch and wanted to say that I had called back to where it all began! And to say, "Thanks" for all of the enjoyment that I have recieved by the work you folks have started and continue to do. I'm a Lutheran Pastor who uses the computer like a fancy typewriter and file system (word processor and data base) and the modem connects me to those who give me a hand via shareware and keep my disposition better with recreational use - like "Global War" played on several local boards. Anyway, enough of the chat. I'll go back and read my log of the information at the first of this call. Maybe I'll call back again to enjoy the fruit of your labor. Thanks, again.

I have the latest copy of "Stillwaters Chicago BBS list" on my BBS at 708-991-3894, if that would help you replace any other local numbers. I also have the latest national numbers if you call out of the area. Search for "BBS" with the "FIND" command on my board, if you like. Msg 44763 is 07 line(s) on 05/12/91 from CHARLIE KESTNER to MICHAEL SHARTIAG re: R/CIRCA 1980 IBM/#5217 PTR Leave me your particulars (address, telno, parts needed, etc), and I will forward them to someone who does this. I would give you her FAX number, but she telecommutes, and I don't know if that would be acceptable to her for me to just hand it out. If you don't wish others to see the address, etc., you may leave them as comments when you go.

I might be able to use two copies. Msg 44767 is 07 line(s) on 05/12/91 from DAVID JOHNSON to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/DISK COMPRESS No it doesn't. The Round Table is very easy going. You need to complete the usual registration information, but that's it. After you're validated, (which is done usually quite quickly), there's no hassle. And from what I remember, the registrations no hassle either. (I've been on it for a number of years, so don't quite remember the level of complexity of the registration). It is one of the more no-gimmicks boards. Try it out. If you do get on and decide to stay, leave me a message. Msg 44768 is 10 line(s) on 05/13/91 from ERIC BOHLMAN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/FRAUDIGY PART 1 From what I've read, data from the C drive appears in STAGE.DAT even if STAGE.DAT is on another drive (such as a high-density floppy). Doesn't quite sound right to me. BTW, a while back there was an effort to make Prodigy accessible to blind users (since it uses a graphics-mode screen, ordinary screen-reading software can't figure it out). Prodigy was contacted and refused to give out details of their transmission format (reason given was that they were afraid someone would figure out how to bypass the ads). I wonder if they were reluctant to give out anything that would let people know exactly what kind of access they have to your system. No dup. chars. >Function:?
