Rusty Tucker Today is "working on BIAP Chat" day for me.
Rusty Tucker I got the 2.0 demo and getting ready to see
what's what.
Bob Nunn : Let me know if you want someone to log on and chat
with. I would like to see it.
Rusty Tucker I got some email from Chuck S. today too, so they
heard you guys!
Michael Davidson joined the chat.
Rusty Tucker Welcome to the chat Michael!
Ken Sutherland : chuck s ?
Bob Nunn : Chuck Shotton author of BIAP Chat
Rusty Tucker right
Rusty Tucker and Web* :)
Rusty Tucker Looks like this last set of Beta's should
hold...
Rusty Tucker barring the add of any new features!
Rusty Tucker still mulling over email forwarding ..
Rusty Tucker and a server side script to process new
uploads.
Michael Davidson : do it
Rusty Tucker What else would MD say ?:)
Bob Nunn : Big thing here. Most of the people use it to
forward the jokes. Probably one of the big priorities in the business
market nowadays.
Rusty Tucker :)
Bob Nunn : ;-)
Bob Nunn : On my system the icons have moved around with the
last set of changes. Did you notice this?
Ken Sutherland : why not, make it more standard
Rusty Tucker That may have to do with the Optional "Upload
Here"
Rusty Tucker Mine moved too I think, not the basic ones, but
he extra ones.
Rusty Tucker ahh. maybe the "New Uploads" gets counted 2
times..
Bob Nunn : Not a problem they are all there but I thought for
a sec one of my drives hadn't mounted. Now I know why.
Bob Nunn : Not sure but it may cause some to have to redo
their settings files. Mine are okay but they are simple like
yours.
Rusty Tucker I'm going to post the TeleFinder Carbon report as
soon as I get a MailTo Apple page setup.
Rusty Tucker The Mail to page will help sysops voice their
support for keeping the Comm Toolbox APIs.
Rusty Tucker Without them, Macs will lose ISDN support!
Rusty Tucker Other than very low level stuff ( Serial and Comm
Toolbox ) TeleFinder is very, very clean.
Rusty Tucker Open Transport support is not 100% either, but
I'll switch to BSD anyway.
Michael Davidson : BSD?
Rusty Tucker The rhapsody networking stack
Michael Davidson : o
Rusty Tucker Anyone have chance to try the new TeleFinder User
for windows?
Michael Davidson : how long will OT be around
Ken Sutherland : 2 min.
Michael Davidson : No, and what is the min system for it?
Rusty Tucker forever in Mac OS, until X, then it gets
"wrapper" support
Ken Sutherland : if jobs thinks there is money in it maybe a
whole week
Michael Davidson : what's the min for new TFWin?
Rusty Tucker Win95
Bob Nunn : I put it up but have had no one try it yet.
Perhaps after this weekend. With Brian gone I don't get the instant
response anymore.
Michael Davidson : What is the latest pre 95 TFWin?
Rusty Tucker the last release v ( 3.1 )
Michael Davidson : There is no prior (visible) in the Win
TeleFinder folder (in the prior folder)
Michael Davidson : I.e., TeleFinder BBS:Win TeleFinder User:
prior is an empty folder
Rusty Tucker its in the 5.6 distribution
Rusty Tucker we don't want anyone using any before v3.1 :)
Michael Davidson : groovy (didn't know which version it
was)
Michael Davidson : guys, I'm gonna go...I think I may have
just lost my mail and conferences disk...
Bob Nunn : Wish me happy 44th birthday. Will be out part of
next week (vacation). You will need to save the archives for me if
that's okay.
Michael Davidson : happy 44th Bob!!!!
Rusty Tucker cheers!
Michael Davidson : see ya

Rusty Tucker It's BIAP report --
Rusty Tucker seems to need much more than an extra 250k to
run, more like 1 MB
Ken Sutherland : I'm listening
Jim Smith left the chat.
Rusty Tucker c-ya Jim Smith
Rusty Tucker The Chat PI does 2 things that conflict...
Rusty Tucker it doesn't close its About Window
Rusty Tucker and doesn't shut down its listeners.
Rusty Tucker That's why its necessary to Quit, then Restart
TeleFinder when making changes.
Rusty Tucker You should also close the About Window if it is
open, prior to making changes.
