Let me know what you think about it, and if it's clear enough?

Perfect enough for me! I am just going to change FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE to /, and all the paths should work! My Linux layout was built first, and my Windows structure(s) mimic what my Linux layout was - so I could use dBridge in DOSEmu or dBridge in Windows XP 2 months ago when I decided to switch from GoldEd to NNTP (as I use it on my iPhone too).

You mention you have a 64bit binary for your system... I only run 64bit CentOS - do you have a URL for that one?

Also a TEAR question... if my NNTP server or (soon to develop) my NNTP client add the tear and origin, is there a flag for FMail to re-tear if I want it, or not to re-tear if I don't want it to?

I do not have all the "C devel" framework on these servers, as almost everything I run binary or I write it in my MPL language.

I put them online here:

http://vlzn.nl/fmail/files/FMail-lnx64-2.1.0.18-Beta20170815.zip

But they are optimized and dynamically linked for my system and processor. So it would be pure luck if they work on your system out of the box. If it doesn't
work, you can try to install the right library versions on your system, or wait
for me to produce some statically linked binaries...

Btw: My system:

openSUSE 42.1 x86_64
kernel 4.7.5
gcc 4.8
glibc 2.19

Also a TEAR question... if my NNTP server or (soon to develop) my NNTP client add the tear and origin, is there a flag for FMail to re-tear
if I want it, or not to re-tear if I don't want it to?

Yes. Search for "ReTear" in FMail.txt for the details.


Bye, Wilfred.

Hi! Wilfred,

Greetings. Long time... I hope this note finds you in good health.

I intend to upgrade the OS of the VirtualBox for my FMail/lnx node (~/1384), ooh... this one! Heh, heh. I normally RDP to it from any of the other LAN doovers, so it's a surprise.

Ahmm, I'm sort of at a crossroad: continue with a hodge-podge FMail/lnx configuration (plan A); or, start afresh with another package (plan B). I just wondered if you might have intentions of getting a workable FConfig/lnx /going/ in the next 12 months? If so, I'll stick with Fmail. Else, plan B (a PITA but I have it figured).

What do you reckon?

Cheers,
Paul.

I would like that to happen. Would also make my own configuration more pleasant! But I can't promise it will happen in the next 12 months...

All that time spent policing the nodelist doesn't leave a lot of time to work on software. ;)

Ah, you are one cheeky cynic young feller. :)

For us hereabouts it is 1st of Spring! Yeehar! Three years of fixing exceptions is enough. It's time for a change, ermm... a new challenge.

Summer will be coming to a close here soon. Hopefully we don't have as long a winter as we did last year. And I get it, with nothing new to test or play with, this hobby gets pretty boring, so I just do other things for a few months and check back in another time.

Regards,
Nick
