    Hey g00r00,

    Just updated to .46 .. all went super smooth, and I read all directions
    and "whats new" (smile).

    I have one question and one confusion I'm hoping you can point me in
    the direction of fixing/clarification.

    1. When I go into the message and or file area, none appear using the
    "J" to join a group, or "A" to list echos; however they do just fine
    over the super cool new index reader. I checked my config and all
    still exist with proper group assignments. What may I have done wrong
    or what step may I have missed, to have them appear?
    2. I'm not fully understanding the conversion from fidopoll to poll.
    Fidopoll still pools all networks, but poll netaddress does not from a
    windows command prompt. What exact settings convert to using the built
    in polling? I didn't see it discussed specifically within the whats
    new, but am sure it's somewhere I'm missing.

    Any assistance from you or anyone reading would be greatly appreciated.

    Not really sure based on what you've mentioned so far. People have been using this alpha for ~6 months and no one has reported an issue like that to my knowledge. My area/groups outside of the index reader seem okay here.

    The group data file format did change but should have been updated when you ran upgrade.exe. I would suggest to go into the group editor and see if they look "correct." Its hard to say without knowing more, but we'll try to get it figured out!

    2. I'm not fully understanding the conversion from fidopoll to poll. Fidopoll still pools all networks, but poll netaddress does not from a windows command prompt. What exact settings convert to using the built
    in polling? I didn't see it discussed specifically within the whats
    new, but am sure it's somewhere I'm missing.

    There should be no difference except instead of "fidopoll" you'd type "mis poll" so if you wanted to manually poll address 1:1/1 you'd type "mis poll 1:1/1" instead of "fidopoll 1:1/1". Instead of "fidopoll send" you'd run
    "mis poll send".

    What I did was merge fidopoll.exe into mis.exe. I'll continue to add options to mis poll and then fidopoll will eventually go away, probably all of that will happen during A47 development.

    QwkPoll.exe may be the next victim! If mis.exe keeps climbing the ranks who knows maybe we'll see a showdown between mis.exe and mystic.exe someday! Although that one might be pay per view!

    Is there a way to send you a script other then within these messages?
    Word wrap would kill the ability to read it well. The gasel lighbar file/message area/group light bar script is what I use, and if you
    changed the data structure, it's likely the script needs updated to
    find it :(

    "mis poll" so if you wanted to manually poll address 1:1/1 you'd type
    "mis poll 1:1/1" instead of "fidopoll 1:1/1". Instead of "fidopoll
    send" you'd run "mis poll send".


    Yeah, I re read the whats new and was able to figure it out. VERY
    slick, love it. It's a lot faster. Nodespy is working faster too w/o
    much hesitation between the initial connect and login displaying.

    If you reference the new data structures, updating the mpl should be pretty straightforward. I think I may have updated it locally, in fact.

    Maybe you could netmail me and point me in the right direction Ryan?
    I'm rather new to the .MPL stuff. I can install mods and mod mods, but
    not quite where you with my competence yet. Or I can send you my email
    address ..

    Thanks for the input though, I'll at least look at the .mpl and try to
    figure it out .. It can't hurt too bad with a back up :)

    Hey dude, hit you up elsewhere, sorry, I stole a lot of the gasel stuff for
    my mods and don't remember /exactly/ how it's done but we can probably figure it out. Where's the best place to iterate? Sorry to say I won't have any bandwidth to really look into it til this weekend :/
