Jamlib. Used to be on Sourceforge but I believe there's a git repository up now.
That looks to be in C. Is there a way to use that in Python?
Hello,
I was curious if anyone knows of a JAM library for Python 2 (even 3
is fine) for being able to create and manipulate JAM message base
files that some BBSes, like Mystic BBS uses.
For some stuff higher up the food chain, PKT's and NL's
https://github.com/fidoman/PyFTN
This one is 3.x+ ONLY.
https://github.com/larsks/python-ftn/wiki
This one is 2.x and works with similar PKT and other stuff..
Neither are JAM base, but FYI for you if you want to work with stuff further up.
And just FYI the Jam Lib stuff (which is C) has issues on 64b v. 32b...
As my JamNNTPd version has to force 32b or it corrupts the JAM bases. At least posting wise.. reading doesn't seem to be an issue.. Just FYI...
I think I found both of these. I'm going to look closer at them, just because it appears that JAM is just going to be too tough to do based
on the documentation. I read the JAM stuff and my mind melts. I just
can't wrap my head around binary file manipulation... yet! Never give
up! Never Surrender!
For debugging purposes I once wrote a litle python script, that prints
out the contents of the .jhr file to the console. Maybe it's usefull for "educational" purposes, or even a starting point for a full python base JAM library? ;)
Anyway, it shows you how to do the binary file stuff in python:

Awesome! Thanks! I'll grab that right now and have a look! WOuld it be
ok to contact you via netmail or email if I have questions?

I'm sticking to 2.x but I'll check it out and may get some insight on
how to do some things.

Yes I do. I'm trying to code a CNet BBS clone in Python and make it
more modern on the backend. I figured JAM would be easy for fido/FTN
OK, good to know! Thank you!
Is there no longer a "C" echo????? Didn't see one in the list I have,
but maybe its not exhaustive???
Sure netmail would be ok. But if it has got anything remotely to do with python, we should discuss it here! ;)

I'm connectec to C_ECHO but it has been quiet for years, maybe even decades ;). However there was 1 message this year with the following seen-by's and path:

Well the arhcive has this from a message:

Thats 7 years old,
and last I seen Alan Ianson was a MIA, unless he came back online...
Its not listed on my hub
I think that was just an area "hijacking" attempt. There were no
messages before or after from Alan. I have to go back to 2004 to see a mention of another moderator...
So get it somewhere else! ;)

I don't think that is the case, the message is clearly to keep the echo going:
"I recently came back to fido and wanted to join a few echo areas but had trouble finding a link. This area (as well as a few others were not listed in backbone.na anymore. As I recall Bo Simeonson (hope I get the spelling right) was the last moderator here.
I have added the area to the elist as well as backbone.na so links shouldn't be a problem, or at least relinking shouldn't be a problem. Here is the listing from the elist, I copied and pasted this from a 2000 or so elist.. If your still around Bo, the echo is still yours. I just wanted
echo listed so links can be made without any trouble."
zoneSo get it somewhere else! ;)
I would love to, but I see nothing from recent except something from a
3 node...
I doubt digging trhough seen bys paths from 7+ year old messages is probably valid nor is a zone 3 feed.
Indeed a clear hijacking attempt. Act first ask later... ;)
