There was a message not too long ago from a person like myself wanting to
write software that makes use of the JANUS software in one of my programs.
Here is what I am wanting to do: I am wanting to treat a Directory in the
AMIGA's Filesystem as if it were another drive on the PC. What I am wanting is
to have a group of files (A BBS download directory) that is accessable from
both the PC and the Amiga Filesystems.
Assuming such a program has not been written, I would like to write a command
very much like Aread/Awrite that can be incorporated inside of my Software in
order to send an Amiga-File out the PC's Modem (Actually FidoNet software,
a Modified version of Binkley).
C.A.T.S. was mentioned, and the 'usual address'. I myself do not know what
the usual address is. I also at one point sent off a Message to Commodore
(Forget the exact person now) asking for information about becoming an 'official'
developer, and thus get more information on Up-and-coming and current software.
I unfortunately did not receive an answer, and I do not know if this is because
the message was not received, or a 'reply' was not received.
Any information would be appreciated.
(P.S. To the person wanting to know an Entry point for Information about his
Products. I am in the 'Final List' under then Name AmigaTronix @ (613) 230-2282,
and have access to all of the Backbone Amiga Echo's off of FidoNet. Ever considered
joining into FidoNet as a Point (A usually single user extention to a Node).
All the Software for this is available on the BBS, as well as with Fido-Style
file requests of 1:163/109)
(P.P.S. I am currently running INLET, one of the other FidoNet compatible BBS's
besides the program PARAGON already mentioned. The Author of this software
can be reached as Michael Sawyer@151/113 (Michael_Sawyer@f113.n151.z1.fidonet.org))
(All birds in one stone ;-)
