Hello David - 

--8<--cut 

CA>>>> Doesn't sound as though you're going to reinvent any
CA>>>> FIDO software any time soon. 

DD>>> I did - just this year - well, it wasn't a reinvention,
DD>>> it was invented from scratch. 

CA>> To do what? 

DD> I host a DNS zone based on IBN data in the Fidonet
DD> nodelist. My utility creates the zone file from data
DD> extracted from the nodelist. 

DD> BinkP mailers can use my DNS service to locate other BinkP
DD> mailers automagically. 

Congratulations. 

DD>  

CA>>>> I wrote over 90% of CoBBS. 

DD>>> Don't know that one. 

CA>> CoBBS was online when the TRS-80 BBS were the best BBS
CA>> online and most using Intel software had XT machines. 

DD> I ran my first BBS on an XT machine. I never delved into
DD> Tandy. 

The CoCo was the only other moderately priced computer with
color displays after the Apple II+ and I had already had an
Apple II+ at the time. IBM PCs were monochrome. 

RC>>>>> I also tested and broke alot of software for a few
RC>>>>> developers. 

CA>>>> Great. I tested and rewrote parts of OBERON. 

DD>>> How many using Oberon with Fidonet throughout the world
DD>>> today? 

CA>> I would guess none? I know I would stop using a computer
CA>> before I would write OBERON Fidonet software. 

CA>> I really have no interest in discussing fidonet. 

DD> And little knowledge of it it would appear.... 

I've said that several times. I never bothered to get involved
in the details of fidonet. 

I have more knowledge of fidonet than I ever cared to have.
This 'knowledge' of which you (and Ross) continue to speak,
what puspose does it serve? Are you taller, richer, more
popular, what? Why should I care?
