Hello all!


Back in the day when I was in Iowa about a decade or more ago I was using this software for nodelist compiler. SO when I got the itch to do another fidonet node I downloaded ver 2.56 from Bob Juge's site before he went down. I note Scott is no longer listed in the nodelist and am curious if he's still at same snail mail address for registrations. I'd like to register this so it can be automated in batch files.

THought I'd ask here as this was a fairly popular nodelist compiler with binkleyterm since it would produce a version seven nodelist. Running bt 2.60 under dos 6.22, pots line only.



Regards,
Richard

Unfortunately, Scott died some years ago and there's no way to register his software.

I still use it - it's great!

Scott did an uncrippled version for TBBS called TBBSNC (and TBBSDIFF for updating the nodelist with the latest diff). Since Scott is no longer around and eSoft no longer has any interest in TBBS I think Richard could easily get hold of a copy from, say, www.tbbs.org (I think it is). If not I have a copy which I still use.

I didn't realize Richard was running TBBS -- I didn't pay enough attention to the message <blush>. I have a custom built xlax* which Scott did for me some years ago, and truthfully I no longer remember what was special about it! :-)

<bummer>. I called the number in the docs, got a lady who didn't know what i was talking about.

Played with other nodelist processors but kept going back to xlax. KEpt intending to register it, then dropped out of fidonet. I couldn't babysit a busy hub system and travel on the road with a traveling show and I had dial-up internet.

I remember raiding your system for a couple of files back in the day in fact.

I don't know if Richard is running TBBS or not. It doesn't matter because TBBSNC works just like XLAXNODE - it *is* XALXNODE to all intents and purposes,
but with additions to work with TBBS (which one doesn't have to use if one is not running TBBS). However the major advantage is that it needs no registration. It was issued free to TBBS users and, presumably, eSoft paid a royalty to Scott. But since eSoft has washed its hands entirely of TBBS all the
TBBS software is appearing for download free of charge from several servers.

Hello Richard,

As I wrote to Dallas, TBBSNC *is* XLAXNODE but without the need for registration. If you can't find a copy, let me know and, when I get back to the
UK from France, I'll send you a copy.

NOt running tbbs. Mo node here at the moment, but will eventually put on a maximus system again. dOn't know if this would work or not.

THanks for the thought anyway.

my system is set up to allow anyone to route anything anywhere... however, the path that it heads out on may be the (next) stopping point ;)

as it is, anyone who has files or mail for any of my downlinks can connect here
via POTS, FTN over TELNET, or binkp protocol and drop off said traffic for further processing, routing and delivery...

Actually now I come think about it, I don't think there's any difference between TBBSNC and XLAXNODE. There isn't any need - apart from the fact that TBBSNC doesn't need registering. I was thinking of George Peace's mail processor. I can't think what the generic version was called (was it QECHO?) but the TBBS version with access to the TBBS database was called FLAME.

Wow.

I keep backups. I spend far too much time on my BBS not to have backups. If one
config line somewhere got changed, or a comment put in a batch file it needs to
be backed up because the work that goes into reading documentation
alone is expensive. I read a doco for 1 hour to fix a problem by tweaking 1 line somewhere ... that was 1 hrs worth of work. It must be backed up.

Oh well.

Getting an 'uncrippled' copy from TBBS might make more sense than trying to find a working license keys. Keys awere easy to obtain and essential if one wanted to use XlaxNode in unattended batch mode. In Scott's words,
"During the evaluation period, the program will request keyboard
input each time it is invoked. After installation of the
license key, the program will operate without intervention. It
can then be used in an unattended batch file."


The keys cost nothing and were promptly forwarded by Scott when he received a written request. I recall that I got my first key from Scott in 1991 when my system became 1:17/67 and my second license when I became NC of Net 3409 twelve
years ago. The keys are simple but I think they are node-specific.

IN the docs I have for 2.56 it said this, and at that time they stated $15 per node. THIs tells me they were node specific. HE might have started giving them
away after I got out of fidonet but from the docs I have for 2.56 it states $15 per node and sure indicated that they were node specific.

BOy wish I would have known
that. AS I said the docs stated it a little differently.
ON the order form in his docs it states:

Number of nodes listed: _________ at $15 each $ _________

Yes, but only after I used a command line ftp client (lftp), shortly before having to leave for church, I had to open up the church this afternoon, for the church "band".

Have just gotten home, and gotten your reply ... , many thanks, it is still on my Linux system, but will move it latter, have added a short readme to the archive explaaining what to do with the files should my memory fail me.

OK thanks, Mark. I'll give it a try. Can't say I've done this on the Fidonet for a long time! I have a feeling that attaches get removed at some point. However, I've just started using Irex again and I think I know how to send a file directly from that.

Great stuff!

following up a message from Richard Webb to David Rance:

Now a question as I haven't given this a test drive yet. Do I
need to rename xlaxnode.ctl or anything else?

Just tried that, renaming the control file got me there. Thanks a bunch!!!

Yep, that's all you needed to do. Good luck with it!

Best wishes, David

Yes, but only after I used a command line ftp client (lftp), shortly before having to leave for church, I had to open up the church this afternoon, for the church "band".

Ah, I wonder if your normal client actually sends the word "anonymous". I have a French computer that sends "anonyme" and, of course, that doesn't work.

I've just been to church, too. I went to a neighbouring church in Henley-on-Thames to size up the opposition (I'm actually organist and choirmaster in Wokingham) but their advertised choral evensong wasn't on!

Best wishes, David

Hello David.

Not sure, as I cannot find where that gets set ... , but it is probably that or a malformed e-mail address ...

Spying on the neigbours ... not nice at all .... <VVBG>

It helps sometimes to see what others are doing, tends to give one a better perspective ... <grin>

IN the docs I have for 2.56 it said this, and at that time they
stated $15 per node. THIs tells me they were node specific. HE
might have started giving them away after I got out of fidonet but
from the docs I have for 2.56 it states $15 per node and sure
indicated that they were node specific.

My apologies. I re-read my XlaxNode docs and the cost of a key was $15.00. However, Scott did not charge anything for a key delivery to the United States or Canada.

BOy wish I would have known
that. AS I said the docs stated it a little differently.
ON the order form in his docs it states:

Again. I acknowledge what the cost of a key was but I did like the free delivery and Scott was always a gentleman to deal with. And his programs have always worked. I've run XlaxNode and XlaxDiff under DOS and various Windows iterations. They still work when I run them in a Windows XP Pro DOS box.

Take care,

Take care,

WAs missing what you were saying there, sory 'bout that <g>.

THat's what I"ve always liked about those programs, they work, reliably <g>. the iteration for tbbs seems to have filled my need there and I can let this batch file run truly unattended now if I"ve got to go out of town on business <g>. I also like the ease of setting up configuration files. I seem to have best luck with just about anything with a flat ascii file for its configuration
and setup <g>.
