about: "Binary Conference List (BCL) files":
I came across this feature of FMail. And I was wondering, does anyone know if there's other AreaFix/Tosser software that supports BCL
files, as specified in http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0057.003 chapter "8
e) Automatic Requests for Conferences" ?
I did some investigation...
Software that doesn't support BCL files:
D'Bridge
Fastecho
Husky/hpt
SqaFix (os2)
Synchronet/sbbsecho
I found 1 other tosser that does:
https://github.com/r8/spacetoss
I have never heard of it before, and I doubt anyone is still using it...
And I found a util for BCL files on:
http://dloads.filenet.wwiv.net/transfer/MAILER2.HTM
NA2BCL .RAR 30K 09-25-05 NA2BCL - Echolist in NA format to BCL format
converter. It is useful for FMAIL users -
read readme.txt.
It's by a Russian sysop who has left fidonet. The documentation is in Russian, but Google translate does a reasonable job on it.
It only converts simple area lists, without area descriptions, so it's usefullness is limited...
Bye, Wilfred.
