In message From: prkeen@nuchat.UUCP (Phillip Keen) > Hello there, I'm presently in need of the programs Csh, CP, and Find, so I > can maybe get a Binkleyterm Point up soon in the Houston area. If you have > these utilities, please archive them and upload them to Amiga 2000 BBS. The statistics to Amiga 2000 BBS are: Phillip, If you are looking for Find and the like, I assume you are trying to set up the Original (READ Obsolite) FidoNet Point setup that involves AmiBinkley 1.00, Confmail 1.00 and ES/ET for moving the mail. Since Juergen's original port of these Programs, many people have been doing a lot of work with FidoNet and the Amiga. Current Implementations are much more refined, and a lot less buggy than the originals. RMB - current version 1.30, this is a full FTS0001 (using .MSG style message bases) message editor. CE - Chamelion Edit, new release 0.11 to be seen in the very near future (Current 0.10) is a more Intuitionized Message editor. CM - Unfortunately still V1.00, but there are many other people working on Updates. The original Porter will also be putting out a new package as well (Written FOR/ON the Amiga, no more of this MessyDos Stuff ;-) WELMAT - Current Verion 0.23, this is a complete Replacement of the Now Obsolite BinkleyTerm for the Amiga. This is written ON/FOR the Amiga, and takes advantage of a lot of the advantages of the Amiga. If you would like to get ahold of some of these programs, a Sample point Setup (4 files: AMPOINT.ZOO, WELMT021.zoo, RMB130.zoo and CMEXE100.zoo), they are online on my BBS line @(613)230-2282. If you already have a Fido-Compatible Mailer online, then all files can be requested from node 163/109 (HST @ (613)231-7144) Discussions of New Fido-Software can be picked up off of FidoNet in the conferences WELMAT and AMY_POINT, and off of UUCP via the Relay set up at AMIGA-MAILER@Doe.carleton.ca (If you wish to get access to the relay, please send a message to MCR@DOE.CARLETON.CA) Thanks. -- Russell McOrmond ...uunet!attcan!lsuc!nrcaer!tronix!rwm {allegra,decvax,linus,pyramid}!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!tronix!rwm FidoNet 1:163/109 AlterNet 7:483/109 BBS: (613) 230-2282 Network Support(Fido): (613) 231-7144 I wanna POINT you in the right direction.

It had been referenced in the Chameleon docs and fortunately, one of my callers is a Fido sysop from Sweden was able to track it down and upload it to my board. I just mailed this to Russell's board. > WELMAT - Current Verion 0.23, this is a complete Replacement of the Now >Obsolite BinkleyTerm for the Amiga. This is written ON/FOR the Amiga, and >takes advantage of a lot of the advantages of the Amiga. I just file requested this from Russell and now have it on my board. If you are interested in being a Fidonet point, have a Fidonet sysop request these files for you: Amypoint.arc Ce010.zoo Cm110pat.zoo Cmexe110.zoo cmdoc100.zoo Welmt023.zoo rmb130.zoo btexe100.zoo btdoc100.zoo Cmexe110.zoo, Cm110pat.zoo and Cmdoc100.zoo are the Confmail files and docs for processing incoming and outgoing mail. Amypoint.arc has a short documentation file plus a modified version of PKXARC for use with confmail. As Russell mentioned, there are two message editors. I had problems with RMB crashing my A2000 system, so I switched to Chameleon (ce010.zoo) and I have had no problems and like it better. Btexe100.zoo and Btdoc100.zoo are the Amiga versions of Binkleyterm although I would recommend using Michael Richardson's Welmat program (welmt023.zoo). Though my system is only 2400 baud, it is PCPursuitable and it maybe cheaper for your sysop to get them from me rather than calling Canada where Russell is.
