subject: Another filearea question

ml>  MvanL> dropfile and "those" dorinfo(x|#).def dropfiles ?

 ml> do you understand the meaning of "POST THE SPECS OR A LINK TO
THEM"?

If you want specs then look in the source code.

Maximus creates "dorinfo1".def for ALL NODES, and always has.

 ml> you've still not provided the proof of this... i'm more 
 ml> than willing to look at it once it is made available... 
 ml> i would hope that it is written by the original author 
 ml> of the dorinfox.def specification ;)

 ml>  MvanL> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropfile:

 ml> oh, cool... i'll go fix that right now... 

Haha you're not fixing anything, and merely demonstrating your pedantic
childish need to challenge everything when the evidence is blatantly in
your face and anybody actually remotely possessing an inkling of conducive
attitude towards the -TRUTH- would see your stupid vain attempt to subvert
a distinction that exists between dorinfo1.def (which predates) and
dorinfo(x|#).def.

 ml> hint: don't take wikipedia as gospel...

I have obliged your request for documentation.

 ml>  MvanL> Which is totally conclusive evidence that the RA mob initiated a
 ml>  MvanL> dorinfo(x|#).def propaganda against dorinfo1.def which the BBS
 ml>  MvanL> community later acquiesced towards.

 ml> no, it is not conclusive of that... QBBS was also using 
 ml> dorinfox.def at that time as were wildcat, pcboard, and 
 ml> many other mainstream bbs packages... besides, there's 
 ml> no cite for that information or a link to the specs 
 ml> those statements are drawn from...

dorinfo1.def is created AS IS. For ANY node.

dorinfox.def is an adaptation of dorinfo1.def.

Same thing for dorin[#[#[#]]].def and any such variants.

 ml>  MvanL> You therefore are a victim of misinformation.

 ml> in this instance, your mistake is in believing unproven 
 ml> and undocumented writtings that you read on wikipedia 

By the same token your mistakes derive from your poor deductive abilities.
