    Hello Janis!

    I can say don't use the latest linux version 5.21 rar to run rar c <filehdr
    rar has some error there not work with put file header to rar splits files.
    the old linux version 5.20 is better to do with.
    when do rar 5.21 to
    rar c "file.r*" <filegate.hdr
    gives error by run this in the split of rar files.

    Take care,
    Gert

    when do rar 5.21 to

    Hmm.. not sure what version Ubuntu uses, I'd have to check. I've got a pretty old version on this system, I think it's 4.3 or something very old like that.

    I picked up the latest version of Rar this evening but I'll test it first and see if something like you describe happens. If it seems to work ok, then I'll hatch it out.

    Take care,
    Janis

    I just used the newest version, 5.30 and it is working fine.

    I used this syntax to comment the file I tested:

    rar c chatto.rar -zfilegate.hdr

    I don't use the < (redirection, or greater-than symbol), I use -z as above.

    Does that work for you?

    Take care,

    I can try it out to se if it works when I have files as .r00 .r01 .r02 .rar

    Yes now is it work again.
    I have 3-4 script files for MacOS file and it is the game with the other game files.
    mgamemove.sh there moves and check the files to games/gmac/work
    mgsplit2rar.sh pack by split rar files
    mgamehdr.sh there add header into the game files for Mac files
    mgamehatch.sh there is check and addhdr and the hatch the files out.

    So now no errors in the split files after I change use of <gmsfile.hdr to -zgmsfile.hdr
    is it files for lnx4games is it only zip files there have addhdr.sh
    there do 3-4 functions.
    cd to lnx4wrk
    cp /home/ftp/new/filegate/filegate.hdr /home/kofo/header/
    cat /home/kofo/header/filegate.hdr /home/kofo/header/kofobbs.hdr fgate.hdr FILE=[filename.zip]
    zip -z @FILE <fgate.hdr

    if it is a rar file is I now using rar c "filename.r*" -zfgate.hdr
    but it is only for MACOS files there is bigger than linux and Windows files.

    So it works with rar again, there some PASMAC file for fpc300 (Free Pacacal compiler).


    Take care,

    Ok, makes sense.

    Glad to hear it. I've always used rar in this way (-zfile.hdr). I never have used the redirection symbol with it. I guess just a habit :)

    There must be something there got changed in rar of add header from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1 and after it.
    My way to get installed rar and unrar and other packers is by gentoo's emerge rar and the file name.
    the linux system by gentoo as emerge is not full updated for rar and unrar, it takes v5.2.1 and 5.1.6
    but with zip and unzip has it the newest version now.

    zip -z @FILE <fgate.hdr

    if it is a rar file is I now using rar c "filename.r*" -zfgate.hdr

    It makes now that my gmsnet has a new working rar files for dmd1155M and there is to soon come dmd1156 there is on way in the next day, as it got for both linux, Windows and maybe MAC OS too as version Dooms Engine 1.15.6
    dmdX is Doomsday Engine complete files
    dde200X is Doomsday Engine build xxxx files
    So only complete version is full version and dde200 is 2.0.0 in work with build
    versions.

    Hi Gert,

    Good. I was hoping it was something like that causing the problem :)

    There must be something there got changed in rar of add header from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1 and after it.

    Probably... or maybe in the libraries of gentoo. And then again, I'm running an older version of Ubuntu, v12.5 LTS, I think. I don't know about the most recent version of Ubuntu :)

    My way to get installed rar and unrar and other packers is by gentoo's emerge rar and the file name.
    the linux system by gentoo as emerge is not full updated for rar and unrar, it
    takes v5.2.1 and 5.1.6

    Understand. :)

    So only complete version is full version and dde200 is 2.0.0 in work with buil
    versions.

    So far, some people have let me know in email and netmail that they are not interested in the Windows versions of those games. The files are too large, and they just jam up their systems because of the total size. Splitting doesn't help, because still the "original" same file length must go out <g>.

    So you can stop sending me the Windows games files. I guess people can get it themselves online if they want it.

    I have not heard any complaints about the MAC versions though, so if they are not gigantic, I can send those out if you send them over here. Again, I don't like sending out anything larger than 30M though. It's just too big :(

    Take care,
    Janis

    I run a older verson of Gentoo on my main fido system as there is some problem with husky Msged there give my gentoo memory error, but on my 3 other fido systems is it a newer Gentoo version and here is it not husky on any of them as

    The Windows version of those games is about 30-32M and the MACOS is more Large like 50M so it is been split to be about 16-20M for each files.

    The Win games (engines) are updated weekly or more often.

    Any one interested in them can get 'the' latest via their url.

    We do not need this file being updated and sent out within filegate so often.

    I have not had any downloads of these files so for me are a complete waste of bandwidth - Janis's system as she has slow upload speeds e.g., 40-50 Kb.

    i think the point is that no one is downloading them from any BBSes... the chances of there being any MAC users downloading it from a BBS are extremely low... if/when anyone wants this one, they are going to the same place you are and getting it themselves... hatching such huge files that no one is downloading from any BBSes is a huge waste of bandwidth...

    heck, even with my own good sized file base, i find it much easier and faster to use FF to search google for a file i'm after and download it... yes, my system comes up in those results but only for the files i already have... not the new versions... i can search, download and install as fast or faster than i
    can find them in my own filebase...

    Hi Vince!

    Same for me.. I would bet that's true even for the Linux versions...

    Janis's system as she has slow upload speeds e.g., 40-50 Kb.

    Yes, sometimes I can't believe how the U.S. handles upload/download speeds :( We have about 58Mbps Download, and on a good day, 5.8 Mbps upload.. god forbid the cable provider should give people the same download speed as their upload speed :( :(

    I can switch you to crash send, Vince.. that will help a lot. My system crashes mail and files to a lot of people, so it won't hurt to send to you that
    way.

    it is a commercialization problem... greedy fscks and bean counters are running

    that might help but it depends on your upload speed and how full your pipe is at the time of the transfer...

    Sounds like a plan - please do so and after a few days I will switch off polling you. That way you can send to me when your system has light traffic processes running - may be.

    My broadband seems to have increased over the last month or so from 8 Mb / 800Kb to 18Mb down / 1.2Mb up.


    The new house will have speeds from 40, 74, 100, 150 - its more a question of wallet and as we are retired it will be the most cost effective one that gives 20Mb upload and 70 - 80 down.

    At least that way, my downlinks can get their files and be gone quickly.
    Not that my system is being stretched in any way with a 8 core AMD FX 8350. Read that as a 4 core Intel type - AMD lie.

    Yeah... I can see the 'once in a while big file' going through our distribution
    but not every week...

    Janis's system as she has slow upload speeds e.g., 40-50 Kb.

    Yes, sometimes I can't believe how the U.S. handles upload/download
    speeds :( We have about 58Mbps Download, and on a good day, 5.8 Mbps
    upload.. god forbid the cable provider should give people the same
    download speed as their upload speed :( :(

    it is a commercialization problem... greedy fscks and bean counters are runnin
    the ops, these days... the thought is that the majority of transactions are downloads to the client systems... anything that is running servers should be paying for commercial access for uploading speeds to be equal or greater than download speeds...

    That's what they hit us with because we run servers, and we do pay a business rate. Sickening... part of that is Ron's having to run test beds of servers, and his company does compensate us for that (sort of) with expense reports. Of
    course our ISP also considers a binkD server a "server" Lol Anyway, we take into account 'my servers' when he puts in his expense report, so we don't get a
    ton back from those expense reports, of course... but it's something.

    I can switch you to crash send, Vince.. that will help a lot. My
    system crashes mail and files to a lot of people, so it won't hurt to
    send to you that way.

    that might help but it depends on your upload speed and how full your pipe is at the time of the transfer...

    I have two nodes out of 15 that I dedicate to the people I crash to.. Those two
    nodes get real busy first when anything goes out from here with those folks. When file announcements, etc. go out, that's when the other nodes get 'busy'. And yes, sometimes all the nodes are full up and things umm.. s l o w d o w n :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    Hi Vince,

    I can switch you to crash send, Vince.. that will help a lot. My
    system crashes mail and files to a lot of people, so it won't hurt to
    send to you that way.

    Sounds like a plan - please do so and after a few days I will switch off polling you. That way you can send to me when your system has light traffic processes running - may be.

    hehe.. I let BBBS decide who gets the crash traffic "first" generally.. It seems to work well so far. Sometimes if I see the system really bogged down, I'll pause one of two Crash nodes' traffic until the major plug passes <grin>. I don't have to do that very often really though. I think this will work fine.

    My broadband seems to have increased over the last month or so from 8 Mb / 800Kb to 18Mb down / 1.2Mb up.

    Understand that one.

    The new house will have speeds from 40, 74, 100, 150 - its more a question of >wallet and as we are retired it will be the most cost effective one that gives
    20Mb upload and 70 - 80 down.

    That will be really nice for you, I'm sure :)

    At least that way, my downlinks can get their files and be gone quickly.
    Not that my system is being stretched in any way with a 8 core AMD FX 8350. Read that as a 4 core Intel type - AMD lie.

    I know what you mean there :) Still sounds like a good system.

    This is an HP 5 core... does the job, and I grabbed it in a pinch when my last system died.. we don't usually buy prebuilt systems but this one was there, and
    I was in a hurry... Works for me :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    Sound like on a par a midrange 4 core assuming below i4770 (which was the last time I looked) before going AMD - a lot cheaper for mobo, cpu etc. Should have
    saved up a bit more though but it does the job as there are 212 processes and load is around zero with uploads occuring but the ibm mainframe stuff is not running yet.

    Keep well,

    I don't pay much attention these days Lol.. I know this much (found out after the fact of the purchase of course) Core i7s are better than Core i5s, which better than Core i3s... and I know Core i7 CPUs are generaslly found in high-end, expensive laptops and PCs.. and this isn't icore7 hehe.. we have an icore 7 mb in the works for whichever one of us gets motivated to finish the install of that MB - that is no easy task, believe me. It is so darn easy to bend pins on the cpu slot, it's insane. I sure don't care to try it.. maybe Ron or Matt will one day.

    The install of a cpu is really easy - just do it in good light, ensure that the
    cpu is facing the right direction (READ THE INSTALL MANUALS for both the mobo and cpu) - takes around 5 minutes to install CPU, RAM, the Fan cooler can take a bit depending of what type - in my case I did not install the standard retail
    on but used a corsair 212S as it is more efficient and has a lower power consuption and more importantly a slower and quiet fan and as my box if very quiet including the other three 12" fans it must be working :)

    Biggest time consumer is installing mobo with the bits now on (cpu, ram etc) into the case and connecting up the various leads and likewise the PSU and fans
    (30 - 45 minutes having double checked everything).

    Takes longer installing the O/S along with the updates and that is just Linux let alone dual boot windows.

    For the last upgrade I bought a new case as it holds up to 10 drives but having
    given up on a raid only hold three - SSD, WD Red 3Tb and a 1 TB for back ups that is spun down when not needed.

    Also use a WD 1Tb slim (USB 3 conenction) for remote/offsite back ups as a safe
    guard.

    I listen to you but the problem was not that the net rule file not working it was that the interfaces not got startup and it got to look like it there was either the kernel there not got read the net.* as it should so it not got load and start net.lo net.eth0 and net.eth1
    After several tries with the sysrescuecd cdrom startup was it not the netcards or the others, by sys rescue find and startup the netcard but with the new names and when I tried to use and try out using the harddisk boot read sda3 configs sda1 as the cdrom sys rescue was it on the harddisk sda3 net files there seem to have errors in it for the network by right reading the net.* files.
    When I then testing the net.* files and move the net.lo to another tmp path and

    It could be yes you maybe should.

    I have on fido2 make it to have get a new working @net.lo file by the there now
    make fido2 to get network connection is named !net.lo
    So it just is how to do this.
