Maybe some case-sensitive examples are available as I only could
find an example with completely<br>
changed bids. This was due to a bug in linBPQ version 6.0.9.31<br>

Recently I received an email from a JNOS user, and he brings up a
very
<br>
interesting point. Some of you may have already read up about this
on
<br>
the BPQ32 Yahoo group.
<br>
<br>
Why am I bringing this up ? Apparently the issue cause multiple
copies
<br>
of the same message to appear at people's systems. I suppose one
could
<br>
look at the expression, 'better 2 then none', but anyways ...
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">I'm no expert on BBSs, but it seems to me
the root problem is that BPQ
<br>
is making case-sensitive comparisons of MIDs/BIDs and when the
other
<br>
major BBSs (JNOS, TNOS and apparently FBB) evidently don't care
about
<br>
case.
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Putting in my 2 cents worth, JNOS (and TNOS too) may very well be
sending
<br>
out lower case bids for non FBB forwarding session. Other then
that, JNOS
<br>
and TNOS both use uppercase for FBB proposals (automatically
uppercase
<br>
any bid values). As for comparison, JNOS and TNOS use strcasecmp,
so the
<br>
case is actually ignored when 'we' do it. We don't care about
case.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">After all, if you make the change to
always force upper case, then BPQ
<br>
still has a problem if an originating BBS uses lower case. So
either
<br>
everyone needs to be either case-sensitive or case-insensitive.
Right?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I don't want this to be a BPQ vs 'the rest of them' issue.
<br>
<br>
From my perspective, I can try and ensure that NOS is 'consistent'
with
<br>
keeping it uppercase (for starters). But the logistics of asking
ALL of
<br>
the NOS users out there to patch just this one issue is raised. We
could
<br>
probably eliminate the majority of these issues by telling people
to just
<br>
stop using mbox fbb 0 (non fbb forward modes), not sure how well
that will
<br>
be received by sysops. Perhaps that will force them to understand
why
<br>
they are not able to get mbox fbb 1 or higher to work properly ?
<br>
<br>
Even if the consensus is to agree to case sensitivity, we still
need to
<br>
get the systems out there updated. What a mess this might be.
<br>
<br>
So, let's talk about it ... the BPQ guys are, so perhaps we should
too :)
<br>
<br>
Maybe after this discussion, then we could get the 3 or 4
maintainers
<br>
or authors to have an internal email talk about the results ? Or
am I
<br>
being naive (even after all these years of doing this) ???
