Support ECHO
I am originating an international support echo for all my

find a suitable link for the APWORKS area, originated on
2:332/504@fidonet. In addition, I regularly read the
international OS2BBS echo.
TIC distribution
All my BBS related programs are distributed via a TIC file area.
If you want to join, please ask your file feeder to find a
suitable link for the APBBS area.
Where to look for support areas
If your echo/file feeder does not carry APWORKS, you can ask for
information about where to find a suitable link to:
Alberto Pasquale 2:332/504 (Modena, Italy)
Roland Schiradin 2:2454/169 (Eltville, Germany)

Bug Reports
If you find out a real bug, I will do my best to fix it and make
the new version available in a few days. To do that, I need your
cooperation: when you find a strange behaviour, double check
your configuration and the manual to be really sure it's not
your fault, then study the conditions in which the bug appears
and, in the end, send me your detailed report about the bug
together with your config file and all the stuff necessary to
replicate the problem. I can fix a bug only if I am enabled to
reproduce it !

How to develop programs that use the Version 7 nodelist:
If you are interested in developing programs that access the V7
nodelist, you can find all the necessary information in the
BinkleyTerm 2.50 sources (BSRC_250.LZH) or you can use the OS/2
DLL provided by Jim Dailey (V7NL.ZIP); both files are
requestable from 2:332/504@fidonet
FastLst Wish List

me know your problems and your wishes about future versions
