I can't believe it's been over a year since I last stopped by. :-) Is there an nntp interface for these forums yet? ;-) -Rich Steiner OS/2, Linux, Windows, Solaris, and OS2200 user in Mableton, GA USA The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then.

An NNTP interface was on the wishlist a few years ago, but I don't know if that's as high on the list now. It was [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/SourceCode/TODO\|last] on the list before. ;-) I fear that he needs to be in an Intel TV commercial so that he's cloned a few times before the Holy Grail of Forum Software is done, though. :-) Cheers, Scott. (Who's not complaining! And who thinks that girl in the Intel ad is a little scary.)

Even a way to treat these forums as a series of individual e-mails (like Yahoo Groups can do) would be useful. I could treat 'em as pseudo-newsgroups in Yarn, then. :-) (Yes, I still use Yarn under OS/2 for all my nntp and smtp/pop messaging -- I'm stuck in a time warp, I s'pose, but 1996 was a fairly good year for both hardware and software). -Rich Steiner OS/2, Linux, Windows, Solaris, and OS2200 user in Mableton, GA USA The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then.

All posts are sequentially numbered. Might even be able to do a greasemonkey script and do it right in the page. Except that the post ID space may be shared across multiple boards.

I'm even getting a few Fido echos back on my plate again, albeit slowly. :-) -Rich Steiner OS/2, Linux, Windows, Solaris, and OS2200 user in Mableton, GA USA The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then.
