 Hello, Leonard Erickson, I'd like you to meet my friend, Dr. Lao...

jb>> I need to gate an internet flavor mailing list to and from 

 LE> Use GIGO. You don't need most of it for this, you just use the 
 LE> gateway part. That'll translate both ways between fido PKT files 
 LE> and BAG, NNTP, or Waffle uucp type files. 

Never mind. This is my third try wrestling through this thing and I give up.
These are the -wackiest- bunch of *.faq, notes, *.cfg, *.ml, *.msg, *.bug and
*.doc I have ever seen. Plus -ONE- (eactly one) reference to 'option.cfg' that
ummm.., does not exist. I am 1000% fully versant on the fido side of things.
And since it's all in text format I can see everything that Pegasus is doing on
the mailing list side. But the -interface- is completely incomprehensible.
Because it can do -anything- it is impossible to pick out what's required to do
just -one- thing.

I was amazed when a msg from fido to internet actually 'did something'. However
what it did was bounce back to fido as -netmail- looking like:

 jb> @INTL 1:141/355 1:141/354
 jb> @MSGID: 1:141/354 00000002
 jb> @REPLYTO 1:141/354 UUCP
 jb> @REPLYADDR jim.barchuk@f355.n141.z1.worldnet.att.net

-What- is -that-? There is no such user anywhere on the planet.

 jb> @GID GIGO unreg at worldnet vsn 0.99.960714
 jb> Apparently-to: jbarchuk@worldnet.att.net

Yes it certainly was, never got there.

 jb> -!-
 jb> AVia 1:141/354 19961002.170635.UTC gigo 099.960714-

Should be ^AVia, not AVia.

Also, it bombs in a win 3.11 dos box with 570k free, and I soon intend to have
less than that available. Exception 0E Error code 04. The above happened at
vanilla dos level.

Other than that, looks just fine. :)

:-)
