subject: is Tobruk ready yet?

In a message to Anthony about "is Tobruk ready yet?", Paul said:

PE> 1. Yes, there are no known bugs.

He he he - I like this statement...

PE> 2. No, I am running a live system, so I am more hesitant to stick it in.
PE> However, I get very pissed off with Squish sometimes when
PE> it corrupts my messagebase and won't fix it up, so when
PE> that happens again, it is quite likely that I'll tell
PE> Squish it can go stick itself, and I'll switch to Tobruk.

Understood.  Doesn't say much for it's creaters sense of confidence
though... ;)

PE> 3. You still need to use Squish, Tobruk only takes over one
PE> portion of the mailprocessing (the most important bit).

Incoming mail only, not outgoing IOW?

PE> Basically, the best thing that could happen is if you were to try it
PE> out yourself, and let me know if you have problems.  I basically
PE> need some beta testers.  If you are worried about having your
PE> messagebase destroyed or whatever, then what I can do is keep the
PE> conferences you collect and are important to you in my own
PE> messagebase, and then if the worst comes to the worst, you can do a
PE> rescan and get the whole lot back.

No real need to do that, I can keep an entire backup of the messagebase
- I've got space to burn at the moment.  I can keep a backup of the
entire mail system, OLR, QWKPOINT and all for that matter, no sweat.

PE> Let me know if you feel like ADVANCING SCIENCE AND HELPING THE
PE> PUBLIC DOMAIN MOVEMENT!

Hey, I thought I did my bit for the advancement of science?  Sheesh, is
there no rest for the wicked?

OK Paul, I'll give it a go.  File attach it to me with adequate
instructions, and I'll poke it in sooner or later.  Oh, and make the
instructions as if I were a 2 year old...
