• ^Z in nodelists

    What Avon was mentioning is when you merge nodelists in Linux (any Linux I've tried so far) each nodelist gets terminated by a control Z. That seems to
    cause other problems and limits the number of nodelists that can be merged.
    I'm not sure what it does on Windows10 which I'm running this second so I can watch Star Trek Discovery when it drops in an hour or so. I did find that deleting the control Z (using vi) helped me get more nodelists merged.
    I use that nodelist to bbslist.bbi setup to telnet to other BBS based on node of the nodelists (Gryphon's MPLs). So more nodelists the better. I can do the same thing by making more lists, like one for each network. Then the control
    z makes no difference as they are all separate anyway. So not a high priority as there is a work around, but not for the nodelist browser which gets
    limited. The work around for that is Gryphon's telnet, I can telnet to the
    BBS with the user I'm trying to send to directly and do mail that way.

    Gotta be some use for Windows 10 ;-P :)

    Windows seems to be unaffected by this and I only see it (so far) in Linux
    and RPi systems

    Will keep an eye on things :)
