Can you implement the TZUTC kludge? ;-)

Hi all,

No promises at all, but after a very long time I've found some time to do

a

bit of this..:

I'm getting myself back into it gently - I've reworked ZPOP3Xfer as a

first

project. A bit of a useless program these days but a nice codebase to work

on

and I've added a few new features to it.

Hopefully see you around a bit more often ! :-)

Great news!


Bye, Wilfred.

I'm getting myself back into it with some gentle work around zpop3xfer to add some new features.

And then a really big missing feature - native telnet(s) support direct into the BBS.

I use telser normally, but find it hangs when hammered by probes on the modern internet. So far this native support is holding up to testing ..


28/03/26

o zeus - added comments to the Zeus source file - the first active
work done in a very long time.

29/03/26

o ZPOP3Xfer -
Recreated config.c for ZPOP3Xfer, bringing that codebase back to life.
Noted that the feature complete version of
ZPOP3Xfer from 2003, before the source code loss, has been running as-is
for nearly 23 years since 23/04/03.

30/03/26

o ZPOP3Xfer - added a Ctrl-C handler, aborting a fetch of emails
from one server part-way-through safely.
Improved help shown when called with ? or incorrect arguments.
Added a CONFIG argument to the command line to support running with
alternative POP3 configurations.

08/05/26

o ZPOP3Xfer - added support for POP3S - POP3 over SSL/TLS on port 995.
Requires AmiSSL v5.

11/05/26

o TelnetConnector, TelnetSevice, Prefs/Lines - added support for native
telnet support, including native support for telnets (secure telnet
over TLS) using the optional AmiSSL v5 integration.

12/05/26

o mbzeus - researched a design error. The maintenance function renumbers
messages from 1 when cleaning up a message base. This break user
highptrs. It cannot be removed as another function expects delete
messages to exist in the Hdr file. More work needed.
o mbMananger - fixed compilation bug around the mbInitalise() call.

A lot is happening. It's great to see the projects moving forward.

I'm interested again in setting up a test system on Amiberry or WinUAE. We
had cnet 3, but I never configured it, and as far as I know, neither did
zeus. Someone else was already handling that.
