Almost three years ago, The Cave BBS started with TP3.0 code written by a very talented young programmer named Stephen Jones. Since then, an enormous amount of work from myself and Conrad Bullock has gone into making The Cave one of New Zealand's largest and most popular BBSs. It is now running 11000 lines of TP5.5, compared to the original 4000 lines of 3.0, on a 25MHz 386 with 8MB of RAM and 157MB of disk. The two dialups are well used during the day and basically choked from 5pm to 1am. We've tried getting a third dialup going but run into major hassles with interrupt conflicts on COM3: and COM4:. Expansion is looking more and more likely, but on a Unix software platform. Does anyone have experience of converting TP5.5 routines into a form suitable for ingestion by a whatevernix compiler, or would we be better off rewriting from scratch? Please post or email to clear@actrix.co.nz as the bearcave.actrix feed isn't too bugfree at the moment. Regards The Bear
