[nos-bbs] This BBS Download and Upload command stuff ...

[George (Skip) VerDuin]

OK Maiko (et al) I'm convinced...

Yes the basis of my work is the 1.11 doc and I will be modifying the "U"
and "D" documentation and help files.
Just for the record - I'm OK with this solution.

Once my mods are complete I'll make the replacement help files available
for substitution.
The document is DRAFT status and I'll hold on to it until publication...

As you might guess my next task will be to validate the FTP function of
the administrators command set.
And to FTP via RF path using the routing function of jnos (ala Barry's
response).
I expect no glitches...

Thanks for your attention to this detail.

Now I gotta tell ya...
Since AX.25 is essentially an ascii tool, I'd love to find a relic of my
past someone has stashed away in a dusty corner.
One of my favorite computers was at UofM - an IBM 7094 (or something
like that).
I learned the MAD language on it - a batch language driven by 80-col
card decks (see? - history).
If the compilation (or link) produced an error exit rather than computed
results the burst page had Alfred E. Newman & "What? Me Worry?".
The text and image were a grid of "#" & "*" & so forth.
The computer readable burst page is what I'm after.
I'd load that into /jnos/public and use it appropriately...
