Paulie420> I use kubuntu on almost all my linux boxes. being able to detect and retain textual table/chart formatting with hard right columns while unwrapping general text is unwrapping posts to fill 227 columns is really nice. Of text tables and charts is the worst part. no clue how long it'll take to get there, though. eg: having more information displayed in the message header while keeping it to 4 lines. Things depending on the screen width (especially) and the height. i'm shooting for a system that autoadjusts some though much of the system is still coded to 79/80 columns, i read and write posts with few minor niggles. my konsole is a 227x70 window and that's how i view my BBS. Which is nice as we move away from the old-school CP437 thinking. plus, if the BBS supports it, some UTF-8 is supported some characters might not display as desired due toĬode page differences but so far, i've not seen problems that are we simply open a konsole and telnet or ssh to the BBSĪs desired.

SYNCTERM OR NETRUNNER INSTALL
Sudo apt-get install wget libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev gcc libsdl1.2-devĮcho "About to download the syncterm application source."Įcho "Set st_path variable for the SRC_ROOT path." # To Install apps/libraries used to compileĮcho "Preparing to install relevant libraries." This is strictly for Linux and right now I can't remember who wrote it, but they did a hell of a good job on it. Here's the one I use and it seems to work on just about any decent distro of Linux. Sudo apt install build-essential libncurses-dev libncursesw5-devĪnd follow Paradroyd's install I figured I'd post the script for installing SyncTerm. I like Paradroyd's install instructions if you have any ubuntu flavor, It's been a real headache, I'm telling you.
SYNCTERM OR NETRUNNER PC
None of the file transfer protocols that the PC and the Commodore have in common (and I'm specifically talking about XModem and Ymodem) seem to want to work worth a shit. Seems that while I have a WiModem device, which allows my Commodore computer to utilize telnet BBSes. One would suggest "just make a network connection and transfer it that way." Yeah, that doesn't work well at all. d64 format which I have no problem downloading to my PC, but once it's there I have no way to move it to the Commodore stuff. Anything I can download FOR the C64/C128 is in a. Mainly my problem is that I don't have any way of moving files from my Linux box to the C128. As a matter of fact, I've been playing with the concept of adding a C64 BBS to the mix, but have run into some really miserable issues.

My roots lie with the VIC-20, the C64 and the C128D.

They are an awesomeĮxperience if you didn't use them back in the day, too. I use this feature, by calling ImageBBS boards and they almost like. A new window will open with the image.(believe it or don't) PETSCII in 40 and 80 column modes! Just press enter and log in! Follow some simple instructions and you’re in! Click on the NetRunner screen here > for an example. Next, you’ll need to supply the bbs’s address. Press “enter” and log in! For SyncTerm, press “insert” on your keyboard and enter a name for the BBS (Orbit BBS), press enter and you’ll get the connection method option. Make sure “YES” is highlighted and press “enter”. After you enter the information for each area, press “enter” again. Click or press “enter” on each area to fill in. NetRunner can be used with your mouse! Click on each area to fill in OR use the arrow keys to move around the form. A form will come up with several areas to fill in. Just press enter and it will create one for you. For NetRunner, the first time you run it, it will tell you there is no “phone book”. Note: Do NOT include the quotation marks when entering the information. When you first run either program, there are no entries listed. Put it on your desktop or somewhere you’ll know where to find it.

It’s an excecutable file so you just “run it”. Use the links on the left side of this page to download the terminal program of your choice.
