  • New developer

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Sat Sep 5 16:21:10 2020
    Hi everyone,

    I'd like to announce that Michael Dillon is a new MBSE Development Team
    member.

    I've know Mike for 25 years now and he is a really good C programmer.
    Andrew and I discussed this and Mike is now on-board. He does not have
    a BBS running right now but has access to this echo via my BBS.

    In the past 24 hours, he's already fixed several issues and discovered a
    pretty nasty flaw in the way the JAM message base is handled in MBSE.
    He's working on these issues and more.

    I successfully compiled the latest DOSemu source from Git and applied
    the "slow display" patch as described in the documentation. I am
    working on slowly updating the HTML documentation. Once that is done, I
    will generate a nice indexed PDF and work on creating man pages for all
    of MBSE's daemons and other programs.

    There's other stuff going on in the background but it's all adding up.

    I am working on setting up MBSE myself but due to other (good) things
    that are happening in my life, I've had to put it off for a while.

    Andrew discovered that the code to display .ASC files is not there! So
    we're fixing that.

    Slowly but surely we're making MBSE better piece by piece.
