As you can see, there are a few programs in Testing-fase. This means that
they'll be out soon. In fact, the documentation is already written. But
I'm still waiting do see if there are bugs in them.
Also, I need to draw a new ANSi for UpLoader. That can take a while,
unless you want to draw one and donate it to me? :)
Note: The LoginCheck PEX was an older PEX for ProBoard 2.00 and is no
longer developed. BTW, it was an awful thing to see! :-)
Q: Where can I find the latest Virtual Soft Productions?
A: The distribution site is USS Aurora, the Home of the [JMJ] Productions
PEXes. USS Aurora is on +32-16-490588. But very soon, you can download
them from Legends BBS (see down for the numbers).
Q: Can I see the latest Virtual Soft Productions in Action?
A: For the moment, no. I don't own a BBS. But Legends BBS will be the Beta
site in the near future. There you can see some of the new Virtual Soft
Productions. Texas Van Vlaanderen will probably also be a Beta site,
but I cannot assure this at the time I write this.
Q: Can I join Beta testing?
A: No, that's out of the question. Unless I write a huge program that needs
a few more Beta testers. But I'm not going to write a Fullscreen Editor
PEX in the next couple of months :)
Q: How can I write a message to you?
A: If you got an E-Mail account, you can write to odebonne@texas.knooppunt.be.
I've also got a Fidonet address, that's 2:291/1501.61. Write a Netmail of
you got a question.
Q: Are the Virtual Soft Productions available on the Internet?
A: For the moment, no... But the Web pages are being made! They will be
stored on the server of DMA - Digitale Metropool Antwerpen. DMA offers
750 KB of server space for free! The URL to Virtual Soft Productions
will be http://www.dma.be/p/bewoner/odebonne ! I'll let it know in the
PROBOARD conference when they are ready.
Q: Will you write other PEXes besides the ones above?
A: It depends... Most of these programs were written during the week after
the exams :) I have made no PEXes for the last 5 months. You see, I write
in terms. Also, I'm in my first year for Industrial Engineer and I've
got still something else to do instead of programming PEXes :-)
Q: Will you ever write a chatter?
A: For this question, I can be very short, NO! TheMin, a FreeWare chatter by
[JMJ] Productions is the best chatter ever written for ProBoard, and I'm
not going to try to make a better one :-)
Also, Nosferatu Nlm is writing his chatter TCHaT GoLD, which can compete
with TheMin and has CursorKeys Control, Back-Scroll capacity and almost
the same features of TheMin (like Eliza, Abbreviations, ...).
Q: Will you ever write a Oneliner?
A: That's always posible... If I can figure out how to extract text-macro's
from a string! :)
As the moment I write this FAQ, there is some code for a Oneliner, but
it's still very Beta... and JMJLiner (by [JMJ]) is getting better and
better.
Q: Can I have the source code of ...?
A: No, I don't do such things. I'm sorry... but isn't it enough that all
my programs are FreeWare?
Q: Is there a warranty on your PEXes?
A: No, absolutely not. You must be kidding, asking such a fool question :-)
Q: Do you have a list of supporting BBSes?
A: Sure, here it is.
