  So, if you won't be getting in mail while somebody's on the bbs, or
exporting mail while they're on you're
probably still safe.

Main thing is then what to do with your irex, and the IRex
docs will probably tell you if it generates errorlevels
after receipt of mail.  That will probably be as simple or
simpler than looking for mail files as I stated earlier.
Check that out, and if so you're alright.

IF you really want to be sure that the system doesn't fight
with a user over a msg base, etc. you can probably tell some sort of way if a
user is online.  AS I said I'm not sure,
but I know ra has multinode capability which means somehow
it's multitasker aware.

Back in the day I helped set up wildcat! and tag, but i
mostly stuck with Maximus with squish and bink because it
was all free for noncommercial use, it configured with text
files for the most part which I prefer, and I didn't have a
lot of money to spend on the fIdonet hobby other than that
required to bring in the mail.
Somebody who knows IRex could help you get started in the
proper direction much better than I, and I would then be
more than glad to chime in with ideas, but I'm not familiar
enough to get you started it appears.


Regards,
           Richard
