[nos-bbs] getting mail into the BBS

[Tim Gorman]

Are you sure you have the right code location? Your error message says it is 
having a problem writing the index file. The code you reference has to do 
with reading a file. 

bgets() just calls fgets() and then cycles through the string replacing all 
0xd and 0xa instances with \0. 

I am assuming that a write function is called somewhere and that is what is 
actually causing the failure to write. Could this be a permission problem?
