I need to convert my current internet box to windows to add a developer :-). It
will be running WFWG for now with 4.0 and NT to follow.

What we need looks like this....



WFWG CLINET (EtherExpress16) \
                   \
WFWG CLINET (EtherExpress16) \   \
                SERVER   -------(SLIP)------> internet service
WINDOWS SYSTEM (offsite/SLIP) /


The server will need to:

1) Remain connected to the internet almost 24 hours a day (via a commercial
   link we have already established for this Linux box)
2) Store and forward internet mail for the 3 clients
3) maintain a local news spool so that the three clients can read news via NNTP
   without having to maintain local copies of news
4) provide ftp services to internet users for product support/information

What winsock software and utilities do I need?

Help!

Thanks! (BTW - I will summarize)

Subject: TRUMPET NEWSREADER: HOW POST FILES?


       Could someone please post or e-mail me a way to post files (such as
text or uudecoded files) using the Trumpet News Reader? All I know is that the
News Reader creates a "post.msg" file before posting. After selecting "Post"
from the menu & manually typing out a message (such as this one) & then
finally posting, the "post.msg" file contains the posted message.

      If there isn't a method built into the program itself, can I somehow
manipulate the "post.msg" file in such a manner as to allow me to sent the
contents of anouther file.

    If there is no file posting command in the News Reader, and if I can't
manipulate the post.msg file, could someone recommend the *name* of another
news reader. I can find a location using archie.

    Any assistance is *greatfully* appreciated. Thank you in advance!

             -Sean

Yes, there is, but it's pretty complicated.  Here goes:

1)  Select an option from the menu (i.e., reply, forward, etc.) in the mail or
news window, making sure that you can somehow reach an icon for a good text
editor while the News Reader session is in progress (you can't minimize the
icon after you select an option).

2)  Go to that editor and pull up the desired file.

3)  Select the text you would like to paste into your message, then select
"Copy" or press CTRL+INS.

4)  Make the message window active, position the cursor, then hit SHIFT+INS.
This procedure will paste the copied text into the message window.

It's tedious, but it works.

Look for winvn082.zip, at microlib.cc.utexas.edu in the /microlib/pc/win/tcpip
subdirectory, among other places (there may be a newer version).  It's not
perfect either, but it will allow you to post existing files with less
difficulty.

Good luck!

The best all round sound player that i have found that works with Mosaic
and plays .AU files from the command line is SoundTool. Available as
SNDTLL133.ZIP in the sounds directory on CICA. Hope this is some help.
