Hello Eric,

 AI>> I'm sure you'd like the mailer / ticer / tosser. In all my BBS travels
 AI>> that stays with me.. :)

 ER> Hehe. Well, I'm currently running Synchronet with Htick and BinkD, which
 ER> those are pretty nice, honestly. I even have a setup I'm throwing together
 ER> that's mail-only, no BBS, that'll be BinkD+HPT+HTick+GoldED possibly
 ER> JAMNNTPD, to access and verify everything with.

The BBS interface to mbse is pretty simple, as Michiel Broek says somewhere in
the docs. He was just writing a plain and simple BBS that his BBS users were
used to (at the time I guess) and that is what he did.

The mailer / ticer / tosser is something else though.. ok, nuf said!

 ER> The one thing I truely do like about Synchronet is the fact it's
 ER> scripted with JavaScript, which is real-world usable stuff and very
 ER> easy to work with. I was able, thankks to Synchronet, tolearn
 ER> JavaScript for the first time ever and actually appreciate using it.

Agreed.

 ER> So, I'm curious what MBSE is actually capable of, and how customizable
 ER> it is, and scriptable, and if it's scripting language (if it has one),
 ER> is worth using. :)

I don't know how JavaScript works or if it could be used with MBSE. Michiel
Broek did write a doorlib for MBSE though and a couple doors that work with it.
One is called safe cracker, a simple number guessing game. A sample for
programmers I think. And the note to next user door, provides much the same as
synchronets auto message.

There is no scripting language for the BBS, although AreaMgr and FileMgr auto
responses are scripted with the help of diesel I think.

 ER> I would like to know a couple or a few publically accessible MBSE systems
 ER> out there, so I could check them out, too..

 ER> I want to see, first hand, what it's capable of as a user.

I know one MBSE BBS called The Bit Bucket in Calgary that I call once in a
while...

bbs.thebitbucket.ca.

I'm sure there are more but that's what I have off the top of my head.. :)

 Ttyl :-),
