Hello Ozz,

Made a list of the programs I use to make PCBoard easier to me and users

> For down/uploading the packets I use a 3rd-party PPE (QWKSCAN) program

ON> Anything you disliked please speak up now... PCB 16 is slated for 
ON> public release August this year.

I'll start with the non-PPE programmes first.

ULP, short for upload processor.
ZIP, UNZIP, PKZIP, PKUNZIP, doesn't need description.
PCOPY, an old copy program for back-ups. Needs a TSR for correct date.
The same TSR (YEAR2000) is needed to update the NODELIST accross the
New Year. This TSR is however only (i think) for OS/2 and DOS based OP's
MR2 v2.30 to read/reply to echo/netmail.

ON> So things that a PPE did better - let me know.

QWSCAN.PPE + QWSCAN.CFG as mentioned earlier
NDREADER.PPE + NDREADER.CFG to make easier reading of the msg interface.
____________ PICA & PICB maybe created or are included with the pgm, as
____________ well as a lot of text/info files for the user interface.
FLIST.PPE + FLIST.CFG
PWD.PPE + PASSWORD.CFG
DWNLOAD.PPE
FREQ.PPE
FIX.PPE + FIX.CFG

ON> Working on XModem/YModem support right now, along with MRC Chat...

OK, they work OK but a more modern modem support would be an improvement
as the one in the TELIX program that also can address Internet addresses


Regards,

Holger
