Since you are into programming, how about coming up with one uder OS-9 L2 that will allow formatting a disk outside of system RAM? Or how about one that looks and acts like QDOS3 (for the MS-DOS people)? There is a need for one like NORTON UTILITIES program called OPTIMIZE (I think they use the command defrag).

DK> Dave Kelly, OS9 Community Network, Region 19 Coordinator. Dave, What you are looking for is exactly what RiBBS does. You do not have to have running all the time. You can run as a point and start up in late evening, edit your events file with a poll to your hub and get your mail. RiBBS tosses the mail and awaits you to just logon and read the mail. You can select which echos you want and it all is automatic. You can even run on 2 dsdd 40 trk drives with enough msg base size to handle a couple days mail on the OS9, COCO, COCO_CLUB, RIBBS and MM1_TECH echos. The events file can automatically do the polling and msg base purging so you only have to boot up your system, and even can have it bootup and start RiBBS from your startup file. With either RiBBS or UUCP you have to find a cooperative hub or host. Usually easier getting a Fido hub to run as a point than finding a UUCP host. Most Internet/Usenet hosts now will charge a fee for access. For more info on getting 'RiBBS to Go' (runs on 2 DSDD 40 trk drives) log on my BBS and download from the RiBBS support section 'ribbs2go.txt'. As for the Fido standards you should be able to download from most any Fido BBS. Look for FTS 0001 or something. I don't carry them. -Warren Hrach, RiBBS, RiBBS_OSK beta sysop, MM/1 Sales Rep.

Date : 94/10/13 18:39:00 Barry, No, I haven't recieved any of the private messages. So it may not be a bad idea to set up an account on your machine. Once again, if I use it wisely, it shouldn't cost all that much. No, for the most part, my FIDO access is a local call. It's just as I mentioned, it seems some of the mail got lost along the way, and I found some on ACS, that I didn't recieve here. But still no private stuff, so I have not seen what you have found to date. I have also found that I can have internet access on the local board now, it would cost me $25 a year, do you think it would be worth it? It would open a new door, but I guess I really have no idea what it' s for. Well, let's try setting up an account on your machine, then we can take it from there. I could still do most of the chit chat on here, and just use the account for heavy duty stuff. >Lute< --- Maximus/2 2.01wb * Origin: LakeCity BBS * V.FC/4 Gigs * 605-886-0849 * (1:288/19) Public Message Message # 4573 *OS9 ECHO* To : All From : David Wordell Subject : Unfragment Date : 94/10/13 19:19:00 I have a friend who is lucky enough to be working in the world of OS-9 as his means of making a living.

I'm going to try and describe to you the best way to do this. It requires the following: 1) that you have a hardware serial port for your OS9 machine (one that has a REAL DB-25 connector like the one on your PC), and 2) that you have a terminal program and a modem for your OS9 machine. If you have a terminal program for the OS9 machine, you can do the following: using the term program, FTP to chestnut.cs.wisc.edu (if you have internet access), or dial my BBS at 1-801-973-2614 and download a file called "rzsz324.lzh". You'll also probably need to get "unlzh7.ar" and "ar20" to de-ar unlzh7 to unlzh rzsz324.lzh (are you sufficiently confused?)... Now, you've got RZSZ which is Zmodem, full implementation. Connect the serial port through a null modem to the PC, and issue the following command under OS9: "xmode /t2 bau=7". If this returns an error (indicating that you have ACIAPAK instead of SACIA), type the following: "xmode /t2 baud=7". Now, fire up Telix or PCPlus or whatever you're using on the PC, and set for 19200 baud, and start your Zmodem receive. Then, issue the following command from your OS9 machine (uzing the sz you've just downloaded): "sz file1.dynastar file2.dynastar etc.dynastar I have a friend who is lucky enough to be working in the DW> world of OS-9 as his means of making a living.

To start off, I would like to say thankyou for your willingness to help me out with this! Okay, as you asked, here is some of the code: Here are the 'include statements' in the program: #define MAIN 1 #include #include <-- This is my mystery file here ! #include #include #include #include #include #include #include <-- I was missing this till I dloaded CGFX5. #include "mymenu.h" <-- Came with the archive. And here is some of the code where it uses getopt: main int argc; char *argv[]; { int option; int cksig(); /* declare intercept function */ while ((option = getopt(argc, argv, "?")) !=EOF) { switch (tolower(option)) { case '?': printf ("\nSkel - A skeleton program to further the\n"); printf (" development of window applications\n); printf (" for the MM/1 computer\n\n"); exit (0); } } There you have it. Any info on it would make me very happy ! If you can't find out anything about it, is there other source that is available to the public to handle window applications functions?
