An 'assisted death' scenario, with the applicable drugs, is about the best I've
come up with after a decade of pondering the subject.

On a related matter: congratulations to Nick! And commiserations. You know why...

Cheers,

I thought of something funny ... 97.5% of Fidonet's administration henceforth will be run through a D'bridge based-system...

Let's see where this takes us ... Hillary also won the majority vote.

Well, look at what problems those two have posed over the years. Zone 3 should
be global. It's a nice round number.

LOL! I have no experience with BBBS, so I was going to put AdeptXBBS, but after going through the nightmare of setting it up, it was a very good all-purpose program that needed its Gatekeeper module transformed every so often. And, there were two programmers updating it almost daily and they used different compilers, which only poured salt in the wound. Another nightmare with that program was its inability to handshake with certain other modems. Other than the foregoing, it was nice. (-:

I have all of the announced fiels for Adept but I have lost the full distributions from both programmera including all of the source code so if you have them please let me know so I can make my Adept area complete.

I did hatch them years ago on the Adept files area but as I originated them did
not get them from the Hub.

I may or may not have the full distribution on one of my drives that survived the storm of August, 2005. I'll look and let you know either way, but it will take some time. I never had the source code because at the time I was pulling my hair out setting it up, one of the programmers lived in Canada and the other
in India and no, I don't remember their names. I didn't even know the code was
available.

I did hatch them years ago on the Adept files area but as I

Then somebody must still have them. At this point in time, as I sit here now, and to the best of my recollection, I just don't think it is me. (-:

I wonder about that.

There used to be for example the AVIATION-echo where veteran-flyers from WW2 were detailing whole combat missions ... it read like a book.

Or the GREEN.029-echo which recounted 4live4 the life on the then Greenpeace-base on Antarctice, it was wildly popular in schools ... it was the first blog ever and read like a book... then the same crash happened.

Over the years some wonderfull things have been written about in Fidonet ... where has it all gone ?

ITs capabilities, if you could tame it, and I know of two people who did:

--------------------------------------------------
2341K 09-22-1997

AdeptXBBS Version 1.11y Full Install
------------------------------------
32-bit, Multi-Threaded GUI, NNTP,
SMTP, POP3, Telnet, Sockets, FTP,
Integrated Mailer, REXX, Utils,
multiple language, XMsg, *.Msg,
Squish and JAM msg bases,
localized date/time display and
a lot more!

Very customizable for almost any
BBSing needs.

GUI (PM) BBS for OS/2. FREEWare/2
24 Node Version
--------------------------------------------------

Adept was begun by a programmer right in this state whose name I no longer remember. Wait! IT was Mark Kimes. He either released the code into the public domain or turned it over to the two who updated it -- one in Canada and the other in India, both using different compilers. I actually got it to work,
with a lot of help from Bill Kirby of the Twin Towers BBS in Texas. Even if it
had become 100% reliable, there is still the fact that IBM abandoned its OS, probably to work on the Space Shuttle software. I don't know that for a fact -- it's just an educated guess on my part.

AdeptXBBS is downloadable from:

http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/software/IBM/OS2/ADEPTXBBS/

but I don't believe it's the source code.

There used to be for example the AVIATION-echo where veteran-flyers
from WW2 were detailing whole combat missions ... it read like a
book.

I love to fly, but they won't let me handle the plane during takeoff or landing. (-:

Or the GREEN.029-echo which recounted 4live4 the life on the then Greenpeace-base on Antarctice, it was wildly popular in schools ...

If CTL+ALT+DEL is pressed on a Tandy system when a certain interrupt is made to the audio controller, it will sure sound like it is "dying", with a long piercing beep tone.
