I just logged off the Microport BBS. Yes, there's a ksh-e there. Unfortunately, they had a problem, and lost all user file updates made after 13 June...argh. Now I gotta wait for it. :-( Still, running a BBS is hard work (I've been there), so this is not a flame - just a warning: you'll have to get revalidated. Oh well... -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC...>splut!< | Never ascribe to malice that which can uucp: uunet!nuchat! | adequately be explained by stupidity. hoptoad!academ!uhnix1!splut!jay +---------------------------------------- {killer,bellcore}!tness1! | Birthright Party '88: let's get spaced!

Maybe it is hard to run a BBS, but it's not that hard to do backups more frequently than once a month. Something this important should be backed up once a week, with daily incrementals. Are they serious about this BBS or not? By the way, I downloaded ksh-e, and it works great. Thanks, Microport!
