My apologies for the tardiness of my reply...  I've gotten way behind,
and am still working at catching up, slowly!

Did you do it in Dos or in Windows?

Which telnet client is that?  And is it for DOS?

I have no problems in Dos with downloads at Chowda, just the uploads
when _in_dos_and_in_telnet_.

 BC> Now another problem has jumped in to harass me.  Some time after the
 BC> first of the year my Zmodem downloads from all BBS's (be they BWave
 BC> or QWK) are not dated correctly.  At first I thought maybe a setting

 BC> problem that run out.  Oh well so is life.

I don't have that* problem at least... :)  (Perhaps it's a windows
problem?)

 BC> I know that you are a DOS person, but I do windows as there were a
 BC> lot of thing I could not get software in DOS for.  But I still do a
 BC> lot of things in DOS and I have close to a hundred batch files that do
 BC> a lot of work for me to this day.  A lot of my applications (even Win
 BC> apps) are run from within a batch file that allows me to do what I
 BC> call house keeping either before or after the application.

I know that there are lots of people who have moved on to windows
applications for all sorts of things.  I really have no desire to be
using windows, although I have had to use it for a few things... Fonts
for lecture presentation transparencies mostly... and I did end up
taking my GRE in Windows with a mouse, and still* did a credible job on
the test despite the handicap.  Point and click generally frustrates me,
as it often moves, just before the click... and keyboard shortcuts
aren't always* available (like with my GRE!).  I'll stay with Dos for
absolutely as much as I can, thank you.  :)

My wizard hubby much prefers a Unix system to Windows, and assures me
that I would too... I'm inclined to believe him, even though I know
fairly little about actually operating totally within a Unix system, as
he has put various unix magic spells already on this computer that I
use, and my normal text editor is MicroEMACS, a dos version of a Unix
editor, which I like very much.  It's a stable operating system, unlike
windows, as well...  So, if we couldn't have Dos, that's probably the
direction we'd be going...

... Next Generation of WINDOWS will be very compact! Only 2-3 CDs...
