    not as originally described but so what? did you get your nodelist problem figured out? r18C is not the one you sohuld be blaming but that was a week or so ago since i last tried to help you...

    Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it wrong...
    ... Just another wild idea could be the revolution of the century.

    I haven't heard anything back from anyone, so I don't know. I will
    have to check this week's nodelist and see.

    As far as "this [being] a thing," I was referring to the existence of a
    32-bit version of RA.

    let's just say that your NC's changes were properly processed at the time they were made... those changes went up the line as normal... the regseg for R18 changes each and every day... if you want to see which regseg your nodelist is using, look at the 1:18/0 entry in the nodelist... it carries "(year/doy)" in the system name field specifically to be able to tell when the last update was... i'm considering forcing it onto all netsegs at processing timebut we'll let that idea percolate a little bit longer...

    there never was a 32bit version... there was some discussion about it but the person who proposed a client/server style 32bit version was never allowed to go

    forward with it... i started this area in the anticipation that there would be a 32bit version but i never foresaw that the maintainers would just disappear like they (both of them) have done...

    That's sad, too. I think that the CLOSEST thing we have to a 32-bit RA
    is EleBBS. It's a decent package, but a bear to get to compile (I am
    still trying to figure out how to do that sucessfully so I can at least attempt to get MY OWN Ele/2 system operating like I want it to (without
    have to use SIO/VMODEM as a telnet server).
