  • PatchWC! v3.00 Release

    From Joe Martin@1:104/57 to All on Sat Sep 21 16:41:06 2019
    Hi folks...

    I have wrapped up the documentation and installation program for
    PatchWC! and put it up on Dropbox for immediate download.

    You might recall, this is the program that patches the Wildcat! family
    of executables to prevent Wildcat! from dropping carrier on callers when
    they return from a door.

    The distribution archive is called PWC300.ZIP.

    For the Dropbox URL, please see my release message in the
    VIASOFT_SUPPORT echo for details.

    Regards,

    Joe Martin

    Hi folks...

    family of executables to prevent Wildcat! from dropping carrier on your
    callers when they exit from a door.

    The distribution archive is called PWC300.ZIP and is available for
    immediate download.

    Following is a DropBox link where the ViaSoft Support Files are
    (including PatchWC! and ViaMAIL!) allowing you to download it and
    various others.

    Hi folks...

    I have finalized the PatchWC! program which will patch your Wildca
    family of executables to prevent Wildcat! from dropping carrier on
    your callers when they exit from a door.

    Thank You! I had that problem and solution was to detele sysinfo.dat
    when exiting door.

    So is it safe to say you 'used' PatchWC! to fix the issue, or you're
    just 'deleting' the SYSINFO.DAT file on return to the BBS?. I would use PatchWC! if you haven't so you don't have that issue moving forward.

    Interesting. I was able to download this just fine on my Debian 9.11 VM
    using Firefox ESR. Odd indeed.

    But, it is still recommend that you download, install and run Joe's
    patch to fix other issues.

    Was able to download it this time as well as ViaUUCP!. I had to UNP and RTPatch all of the EXEs, but was able to get it to work. Now I saw
    something about a small utility that will import wcGate configurations?
    I also use fxUUCICO instead of the dial UUCP client you have packages to transmit packets over TCP. Will that work as well if I bring in the
    configs for that as well?
