Hi! Alan,

On 10 Dec 19 13:47, you wrote to me:

There is is a FREQ server package for Linux called 'Mfreq', by Markus
Reschke.  In it are a couple of bonus BASH scripts that he threw in just for
the hell of it, called: sendfile.sh & frequest.sh to send files or make FREQ
requests to send via your binkD job.  In any case either script might be used
to start-off a binkD session. They need fine-tuning to your local Binkley
directory structure.  Not hard; I did it!

The guy was just shy of genius level (he also wrote an IP address extraction
tool from a FTN nodelist, in BASH!).  If you want Mfreq just FREQ 'mfreq' from
here, for the last version.  Zone 2 let him go without a fight, when he got
slightly pissed-off at something minor.

My Idea of a secure doover is covering the keyboard with my off-hand while I
peek & poke at the ivories with t'other.  :)

 AI> Do you think that would be a good thing?

The all-time best would be simply a 'crash' filebox.

Cheers,
Paul.
