Hey mark!
ml> you do realize that maurice reads and writes messages to/from ml> raw PKTs, right?
Not quite but not far off from the truth. I have temporary files in between incoming and outgoing but the starting and final results are the raw PKTs without any alteration from their recieved or sent state. However there are no squish or jam or ????? other archives to be concerned with whci makes it extremely easy for my to adapt to any changes that might be required or desirable.
ml> all via shell script(s) using standard *nix command line tools ml> and for at least two decades... probably a little longer ;)
For the fidonet specific stuff it started when the co-called standard PKT header was altered and certain nodes decided they didn't need to support the old school PKT headers anymore despite saying they did. I decided then that I could do better so I did and here we are today.
I believe I was the first truly working UTF-8 capable fidonet node - with or without the CHRS kludge. :-)
Life is good, Maurice
