Hi, Mark-

*** Quoting Mark Hofmann from a message to Sean Dennis  ***

MH> I'm not familiar with what Squish format is, but if WWIV had some 

Squish is the message base format introduced with Maximus BBS.  Many other
BBS ¨software packages have adopted Squish as one of their message base
formats.  ¨
MH> Pascal and then 'C'.  They are very similar from what I remember.  I 

Pascal and C are actually quite different when you get down to the brass
tacks, ¨but if you can program in Pascal, you generally can read and
understand C to a ¨point (no pun intended).  I won't go into the
differences here, but there are ¨some rather large differences.  I simply
haven't learned C since I've not had ¨time.  Pascal's worked for me over
the years so I've followed the old adage of ¨"if it works, don't fix
it". ;)

MH> things, but I wouldn't know where to start on adding a functionality 
MH> like that.  

That would be a very major overhaul and only a really experienced C/C++
¨programmer should tackle that.  Unfortunately, programmers around here
seem to ¨be far and few between and even fewer are programmers that have
the time or ¨desire to tackle BBS projects since there's no money in it.

Later,
Sean
