• Testing SBBS 2.30 in '24

    From Ltning@1:103/705 to All on Mon Mar 4 00:32:00 2024
    Hi all!
    Testing my SBBS 2.30 installation, which I will be running on both DOS and OS/2 (for good measure). Tried to adapt the old qnet.src but since I have both wget and NCFTP on both DOS and OS/2, I might end up cheating and use those to pull/push QWK/REP files via FTP.

    First test - seeing if this message shows up.

    Brilliant!
    Only problem is that the old code does not seem to handle UNIX newlines (\n only) very well; your reply shows up without carriage returns, so it's a bit hard to read. Weird part is that most/all other/older messages seem to display fine - need to research this a bit more.

    Funny, this looks good in the reply editor - not so much in the message
    viewer. Wonder if there's something I've missed..

    i opened a gitlab ticket for this a long time ago.

    in the hopes the hub (Sync 3 in this case) could generously word wrap it for 2.30 boards :)))

    Have you tried enabling the (new) Word-wrap feature for your QWKnet account on Vertrauen and seeing if that resolves the line-wrap issue?

    The new QWK word-wrap option should hopefully resolve the issue with importing/viewing messages with long-lines in older BBS software (e.g. SBBS v2).
