Did my message on fsx not come through? In case it didn't could you
please send me a copy of the broken squish base (both the sqd and sqi
files) and a copy of your message area toml file.

No, I have been having some issues connecting with fsx since yesterday
morning. Traffic has been sporadic.

Yes, I can send a copy. I kept a copy before starting it over.

That's interesting, if you are able can you catch a packet from them?
Might be too much trouble, but would be interesting to see what's
different about that packet.

They have not responded back since.

Also, you're running on raspberry pi right? is it just running raspbian?
what version etc?

Yes, it is a Pi 2. uname reports 4.1.17-v7+ on armv71.

It's weird because I'm running Postie & Talisman and am not seeing any issues, who is your fsx hub?

I was pulling mail for that machine from my Magicka system. I switched
over to pulling from my Synchronet system, 21:1/175, to see if that would
help. Don't know if it is related but so far the issue is minimal. Once I
run squish out my locally posted replies show up in the message base.

Also, my email is apamment AT positronicbrain DOT net, if you can zip
that stuff up and either send it to my email or upload it to my BBS that would be great.

I will zip and send shortly. Thanks!

I mentioned in the FSX support echo but haven't heard back yet. By disappear, I mean that Talisman counts them but cannot list them and I cannot read them.

Strange. I'm using nothing but Talisman and it's internal tools and
things are pretty darn stable here. No issues with the messages at all. Before postie I used Fastecho which also worked. (Other then the bugs everyone knows about fastecho).

Postie was the first thing I ran where I ran into an issue. DOS Squish has some issues but they seem to be temporary (I got it to where the disappeared messages return). I may need to revert back to postie and see what happens with it.

Are you sure your messages are all getting out? I have reset my message areas and added some, and have gone to using postie exclusively. Area corruption is gone, and some messages get out, but many are either not being scanned and bagged, or binkd cannot find the packets (maybe the flo files are not right... I cannot tell since I don't read ftn hex).

I'm sure it's a bink setting. I used to use binkd but now use binki
because as I said may as well just go all in with internal apps. :)

Hello, Mike!

Replying to a message of Mike Powell to Tiny:

the packets (maybe the flo files are not right... I cannot tell since
I don't read ftn hex)

I wrote a utility that does just that. Let me find the code and I can clean it up and compile it for you. You want DOS or Win32?

apam did some tweaking under the thought that maybe my version of raspbian wasn't interpreting the endian stuff correctly. I recompiled it, started
using postie again, and it all appears to be working now - k-o-w.

I did find a mistake in my binkd.cfg that was causing it not to find the micronet flo files, so that is also now working. Imported a whole bunch of messages in one of the test echos this morning and everything imported ok,
no disappearances that I could see.

Much gooder! :D

This would be on armv71 linux. ;) I think I got it figured out now... my brain, eyes, and fingers do not cooperate as well as they used to,
especially late in the day. :D

Can you email me that in win32?

My solution is to use windows calculator, go into Programmer mode, then
select HEX - enter the hex and it convers to decimal.

It should be simple enough to do but unfortunately I don't have an ARM
system handy.

I manged to misplace 500+ files lastnight in my filebase and spent 4+
hours trying to fix the damage. Today I'll be making backups. <G>

When I get it done. Ran into a small problem I need to figure out.

I've done that also.

Synchronet's echocfg utility will tell me what *.flo hex value = which node
I am connected to, and will also tell me which OUT.* directories belog to
which zone. I could have consulted it had the number I was looking for not been my Synchronet systems number. :D
