    Any other Zeus weilding sysops out here. Apart from Neil and myself, I'm
    not sure if anyone is still using it.

    I would gladly be running Zeus but the version that I have is ancient so my keyfile won't work on the new release.. and when I say old I mean pre 1.0 version old.. I think I bought the software in the early 90's lol

    while xenolink was not working with isdn ? :)

    sadly i lost source code for xenolink, all registred sysops have it, so there might be backups somewhere

    Sorry for the late reply.. had some problems with my amiganet linkup .. I managed to find an arexx guild for xenolink 1.97 .. I'm sure it's gotta be pretty close to the 1.90 .. I used to program a bit of arexx so I am going to start developing some xenolink tools for exlusive use on my BBS :)

    I still need to get my hands on the tilde code list and the list of menu commands .. there are some that I dont know .. I figured out many of the tilde codes by trial and error lol

    I'd be willing to pay someone for a valid xenolink 1.95+ keyfile. I wouldn't mind upgrading to the latest version. I've seen screenshots.. it looks pretty nice..

    Anyways.. here's hoping :)

    There are quite a few of those that drive me mad on a daily basis. The
    new message waiting issue is one that causes me the most grief.

    That will also be tied onto the FTN mail processor, thinking area's/message
    are bad.

    I'm slowly getting reacquainted with the system, and trying to remember how things work. I'm yet to find out how to have zeus remove files from it's database, when theyare no longer on the hd.

    Is it a rexx script or util?

    I wish he would release the code. I would gladly love to go through it
    and see if I could fix some of the issues.

    Or at least give access to the code to fix some of these bugs. CNet is
    getting worked on, but I've never liked the user side of things with that software. The same goes with Ami/x.

    No, i'm refering to the new wiating mail in a netmail area, which freezes
    the system.

    FileManager (which is in the bin folder) with the EXISTS switch will do that for you.

    I agree, I have never been a C-Net fan, but it is being worked on but I
    don't think the code has been released.

    If Neil released the code for Zeus, at least we would have a few people who could help out fixing it's issues and adding stuff to it.

    Oh, I've not ran into that bug.

    Found it, and have used that keyword. Thanks. Also found a bug with the
    swicth to not ask for each file to be removed. I'm accessing the system remotly, so can't gove the precise error.

    To sum it up, it just scrolls "cant find file" up the screen and the only
    way to exit was to reboot the machine. #)(

    I agree, I have never been a C-Net fan, but it is being worked on but I don't think the code has been released.

    At least there is visable work being done. Zeus looks like it's in a ICU
    ward with tubes keeping the last few systems going.

    If Neil released the code for Zeus, at least we would have a few people who could help out fixing it's issues and adding stuff to it.

    Even better would be a GIT Hub release, so that those that want to help can contribute back.
