More from the Editor’s Mailbag

These were inadvertently left out from the original MAILBAG. I think they needed to be added in. I, again, am attempting to show many people how busy and informative the FWKUG MBBS & PSDE really is. When you have this type of a BBS in your area, I highly suggest that you patronize on a regular basis. These people, the SYSOP included, place a great deal of information and help at your disposal, all you need to do is ask?

Re: CONDOR

The only problem with programs written with condors inter language is that it only works with condor. The great festure is creating screens / menu’s./ helps /. The language is all in English, only 6 commands if/end/endif/etc. I was even able to get someone to enter in-their name/passyword to allow the program to run or else it aborts back-to DU? , I’m sure there is mucho stuff out there in DOS land, but who needs the price, never had any limits set on size of-files. Once had a database of invoices that was 122K and, yes, I automatically had a backup copy of anything I did. It only took one power surge back in 81 to teach me that one.

RE: MORROW FORMAT

David,

To use the Morrow. formatted disk, the instructions are on the original boot disk. I can’t remember the exact instructions, but it should be there. If-not, I can send you a copy of the instructions. Good lucks Sounds like you are using the CP/M to the max!

Charles Stelding

(Luckily I figured out how to do this before I received Charles letter. All I had to do.was to-read the instructions that came on the FILES.DOC. Next time I will READ first and ASK second.)

Re: PBBS

David,

I am running PBBS software on a TeleVideo TS803h. There are many PD BBS software packages available for CP/M, I’m sure one could be made to run on the AERCO RP/M system. Take care.

Ed Grey

(I am highly tempted to try that myself, just for the fun of it. A real RCP/M BBS running from an AERCO dual-drive 2068 running RP/M. )
