Hiya...
I just linked to a mystic board for another network. I originally sent
it an areafix with %+ALL in the body. It doesn't seem like Mystic
offers that. Any possible way in future version you can put that and %-ALL. If someone has 30+ subs he wants to link to, that's a TON of
work creating that netmail...

In this instance, there's only 6 areas to link, at most. :D

True but I'm keen to use Mystic for Usenet and Fido etc. and there will
be way more echoareas to link to there. So I'd support such an option
too if were possible :)

Oh I know... but you understand my concern. It was just a possible
request that almost every other areafix understands (except for BBBS
and its regex). Just to make life easier.. :)
Did you manage to get hooked up? You should currently have 6 echoes.
And there is now a new echo, only just created, so it's not in the infopack yet, as the paint is still very wet. :D

What do you see Tony ... it may be a false positive but also very
helpful in the process...

Yes its finally time to add something like that. What uses that
syntax? I've not seen it before.
There were a few things I wanted to do before I was willing to add that in, and that was echomail security and configurable default rescan
limit per base (which are now done). Without having limiters something this could be bad:
%ALL
%RESCAN
Anyway we just have to figure out the format. I double checked
CrashMail and FastEcho (the only two tossers I have here) and they do
not support that syntax either. I want to try to keep the syntax relatively consistent as long as I can stomach it :)

I would go with %+ALL or %-ALL which will link all or delink all echo areas. My thoughts are if the FTN has many echos you want and just 2-3
Regarding rescan, I don't think you should change that. The options you give will allow for a total or partial.

I was asking what uses that Syntax "%+ALL". I understand what %+ALL
would do :)
There is no standard definition for Areafix stuff, so what I am getting
at is that I'm trying to select syntax that is the most compatible
across various Areafix processors.
I've already committed to %ALL at this point though along with some
other enhancements.
Regarding rescan, I don't think you should change that. The options you give will allow for a total or partial.
I haven't re-read what I typed but I don't think I mentioned that I planned to change the RESCAN command. I have no plans to do that at
the moment.

Oh yeah... all set. Just I need a nodelist.. :)
Let me know when the paint is dry..
I know all Synchronet systems do as well as Husky products. I'm linked with Janis and her system uses 'regex' which is a pain in the ass in itself but I think they also use the +/-ALL as well without regex.
As I said, these are just my thoughts based on common sense standards.

Mystic's %ALL has the boolean searching used in other places in the BBS (message searching, events, etc) which is a more usable than regex.
BBBS can do a lot but its a nightmare when it comes to usability (imo).
I find the fact that it uses regex for adding areas perfect example of that lol

Well thats sort of the thing... There isn't really a standard for it so
I wanted to choose what is most familiar to people. After doing some research I think you're right %ALL is the way to go.
The next build will have a handful of Areafix changes including ALL.
Unfortunately the hardware on my DEV system is dying so I am not able
to compile everything. I was planning to release A39 today but it
sounds like instead I'll have to be dumping a bunch of money on new hardware :(
I may put up what I can get built but I am afraid to push the system I want it to live long enough to get things copied off of it. The main development drive is going :(
Bill McGarrity wrote to Vk3jed <=-
Where did the nodelist I sent you get to?
Never got here. Did you send it File Attach or via TIC? I checked my
binkd logs and nothing. There were .cut files but that's it. Create a filebox for me and stick it in there.

I sent it via file attach.

It's nowhere to be found here... As I said, create a filebox and drop
it in there. I'll see it in my secure inbound.

If you find yourself in the Maryland area, I'm pretty sure I could dig up so hardware while spring cleaning. Especially if you are interested in a rack mount server. Just let me know what your looking for..

I do have a filebox for your vkradio address, but just need to do the fiddly part of copying the file across to the BBS (same issue as with hatching). Give me a reminder in 24 hours, today is a write off for
that sort of thing.
Hey Mark,
I would be willing to give some stuff a new home :D I am in PA but work in MD and have actually been in your neck of the woods quite a bit. I drive dump truck and was actually just off Bel Air Blvd at Putty Hill paving it
a few weeks ago lol
