It's been a long, long month without Usenet but the shakes are finally over.
As of October 12, I've been working for a new employer. At the same time
that that change was transpiring, my Usenet feed (unisec.USI.COM) moved to
Texas. Hopefully, I've come through the double trauma a stronger person :-).
Many thanks to David Brierley (galaxia) for the new feed.
So! What have I missed during my period of deprivation? Did anyone post
the Be_Everything_to_Everyone_Program that I've been waiting for? Has
anyone done anything to MRBackup to make it [more] useful? While I was
adrift, I got a free update to PowerWindows V2.0 - from version 1.1. It was
a rather impressive transition from poor to very nice. I'm using the program
to design a CZ1 patch editor. It's reliable enough now that I don't touch
the source it generates. When I want new features, I can reliably edit the
saved image and regenerate source.
Has anyone tried City Desk? What do you think? I've got a "special offer"
form for MSS's new Excellence! (I know - it's a word processor, not a page
layout program), but I'm a little gun-shy after having bought into Online!
version 2.0 (still doesn't do VT100 correctly).
I would appreciate a few responses via mail, if only the word "Hello", to
make sure that I am reachable. I also had a great deal of difficulty in
responding to people when I was attached to unisec. If you never got a
response from me, I at least achieved great frustration in trying.
It's nice to be back,
Mark

I am back... was gone for two weeks. if anybody has yet to receive a reply to email please email me again, it might have gotten lost while I was away. DNet V2.01 is going to the moderator today or tomorrow for all of you on the USENET. I will put the very latest version on ucbvax.berkeley.edu tomorrow (fixing some problems with hanging up after on auto-answer). I have added a new server... a password server. I have tested the about-to-be-released version of DNet w/ this new server by leaving DNet running on my Amiga at home (Berkeley) and connecting to it periodically from Lake Tahoe. While it is still possible to crash a machine remote without password authorization (e.g. open 64 talk windows), I don't think it is possible to read, write, or destroy files by remote without the correct password. Most Common problem w/DNet V2.01: Not using the -h0 option when the carrier detect line is not connected in a hardwired configuration. -Matt

This newest version is also now available via anonymous ftp from xanth.cs.odu.edu as /amiga/dnet-2.01.zoo. This replaces the previous dnet-2.01.zoo that was there. If you got the 388k version from xanth, it's old. The new version is much larger... :-) ...tad
